Can different HS work together to provide drama as an after school activity if a school doesn't have a program?

How about the Middle school that feeds to Kennedy? Did the MS have drama program?

They did, but it went away last year and has not come back. I know that's a school with a lot going on, and maybe having even one show a year isn't a big priority, but it just feels like a shame for the kids who won't get the experience.

Kennedy HS doesn't have a theater program at all.
Last year, 8 out of 40 middle schools didn't. And of those 8, 4 were Title I middle schools.
Your school zone dictates what activities you get to explore during your secondary school days.
Kennedy not having a theater program is shocking, and I'll admit to not quite understanding how that happened. My understanding is that schools have an allocation for faculty advisors for various clubs/activities. Were they unable to recruit someone to fill this role? Are they using the funds for something else? It just seems like such a shame, not just for potential student actors but also for all of the stage crew kids who could be getting first-hand experience with a variety of trades.

Definitely some inequities. I've never seen Forest Oaks Middle on the list of productions.

+1 IMO, they put on some amazing productions with the full orchestra. I've seen 3 so far.
