NKHS Les Mis Fundraiser

Dear NKHS Trojan Theatre Supporter,

The Trojan Theatre is proud to announce that 2015 marks the 10 year anniversary of the wonderful partnership between New Kent High School and Astor College in Dover, Kent, England.  Our partnership involves the collaboration of committed administrators, dedicated staff, very enthusiastic and talented students as well as the support of encouraging sponsors in order to put on collaborative world-class musical productions every other year.


Past shows include Jesus Christ Superstar – 2005, West Side Story – 2007, Sweeney Todd – 2009, Cabaret – 2011, and Anything Goes – 2013.  Hopefully you were lucky enough to have enjoyed some of these performances!


Every collaboration is focused on the growth and education of our students who gain immeasurable skills by dedicating themselves to a large cross cultural team environment, all working together to present a memorable, professional performance and experience.

The Partnership is very proud and excited to be performing Les Miserables in 2015! Les Miserables is an incredibly large undertaking and will require significant funding to insure 2015 will be the best and most professional production yet!  The New Kent Trojan Theatre is working hard on multiple fundraising events and are seeking financial sponsorships to help supplement the costs of this production.
