According to Wetumpka High School theatre instructor Jeff Glass, the school’s theatre program is a popular choice for students.
“Our theatre guild has 80 to 100 students each year,” Glass said. “Last year, 34 seniors graduated. I speak with other theatre teachers and they do not even have 34 students total. It’s wildly popular here.”
