Templeton Middle School Drama

Get ready for a hilarious journey from Mount Olympus to modern-day school life in Myth-Understood, performed by the talented Templeton Middle School cast and directed by two outstanding student directors from Templeton High School!

From a spotlight-seeking Medusa to a reality-show twist on the golden apple, the myths you think you know get turned upside down in the funniest ways.

This lively, creative, student-led show brings ancient legends crashing into the present with heart and humor. It’s perfect for families, friends, and anyone who loves a fun night at the theatre!

OKLAHOMA!

Templeton High School Theatre Arts

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of a new land.

OUR FOUNDATION & FUTURE

TPAC Foundation Logo

Through our non-profit (sister) organization, the Templeton Performing Arts Center Foundation, we have been able to bring a number of improvements and enhancements to our venue.  

 

State-of-the-art upgrades — including new LED CYC lights, advanced LED moving lights, a professional-grade light console, a cutting-edge sound board, a new Clear-Com system, a new greenroom stage monitoring system, and a digital audio snake — would not be possible without the generous support of the Foundation and donors.

Visit our Foundation website for more information about its role and commitment to securing additional funding for the Performing Arts Center's continuous growth and potential to be one of the premiere theatrical venues in all of San Luis Obispo county.
