ECCHO’s Theater Program is a Christ-centered group where students can explore their creativity while developing their talent and interest for theater: working to grow individual gifts, discipline, and self confidence while working together to develop a shared vision to provide quality entertainment for our audiences and a total theater experience for students.

Theater meets once a week on Friday afternoons in Waxahachie.

Who can join?

• 7th-12th grade students who are members of ECCHO are eligible to audition.  

• No experience is necessary! Just bring a desire to explore your God-given creativity and willingness to work together in support of each other.

• Parent service assignments are required during the semester and during rehearsals and performances to help keep us safe and running smoothly.

• Program auditions are held each year to fill 25 spots in our theater program.

• Program fee is $100 per semester. Monthly fee is $30.

Fall semester performances may vary.  Spring show is traditionally a full length stage play or musical. For 2026-2027, our Christmas production will be "It's a Wonderful Life: Live Radio Play" and our spring musical will be "Fiddler on the Roof, Jr."

Student Expectations: Students are expected to actively participate in classes and rehearsals, and to be team players: willing to learn and grow while helping and encouraging others.  Be sure to review the ECCHO code of conduct in detail as this clearly present expectations in all classes and programs, including theater.  

Family Expectations:  Theater parents are asked to take an active supporting role in our program. This includes serving at venues as hall/ door monitors, providing costumes and props for your student, contributing time and talents as you’re able with things like set design, helping deliver props to/ from storage, participating in fundraising and family fellowship opportunities when able, and other support that might be needed.
