Seminars
During the 2013-2014 school year, the HRHS Drama Company provided monthly seminars for interested students to expand their knowledge of a specific branch of theatre. Local artists and professionals were brought in to lead workshops in their areas of expertise. Seminars could return in the future with sufficient planning and student interest.
