Fall Play
The Griswold Drama fall play offers students the chance to dive deep into character-driven storytelling in a more intimate theatrical setting. These productions emphasize collaboration, creativity, and thoughtful performances—and often include unique audience experiences that make each fall play special.
A Tradition of Storytelling
Directed by Griswold High School English teacher Timothy Moore, the fall play has been a staple of the program for more than two decades and serves as an important creative outlet for student actors and crew members.

The Fall Play is open to Griswold High School students in grades 9-12. No prior theater experience is required! Auditions will be announced near the start of the school year. There are opportunities for students to participate on stage and behind the scenes. Please, join us!
