Griswold Drama

A Proud Tradition of Theater at Griswold High School Since 1936

For nearly a century, Griswold Drama has been a cornerstone of artistic expression, student leadership, and community pride at Griswold High School. From intimate fall plays to full-scale spring musicals, our program brings together students, families, alumni, and community members to create unforgettable experiences—on stage and behind the scenes.

Griswold Drama isn’t just about putting on shows. It’s about teamwork, creativity, confidence, and belonging. And yes—Wolverine Pride runs deep!
