The benefit show for the APA Theatre Department

Join us for four shows with itty bitty bites & BIG laffs in the APA Studio Theater (black box behind the auditorium)

Laugh hysterically as the cast speeds through all of Greek Mythology in Jay Hopkins and John Hunter’s THE ILIAD, THE ODYSSEY, AND ALL OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY IN 99 MINUTES OR LESS. This is our annual show benefiting the APA Theatre Department. The absurd destinies and the goofy characters are presented lightning-bolt fast with hysterical results and it’s secretly educational. Plus, have you ever dreamed of spending time on the historic stage of the HBUHSD Auditorium? Guests who arrive early will enjoy delightful light bites and the enchanting melodies by MMET Pop, performing just for you before the play begins.

Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

Based on the Dreamworks Animation Motion Picture and the book by William Steig, SHREK THE MUSICAL is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure from the sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire and featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori.

Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek, an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. APA’s Musical Theatre, Orchestra, Technical Theatre, and Costume Design students look forward to having you experience this fantastic tale!

SHREK THE MUSICAL is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. 421 West 54th Street, New York, NY 10019 Phone 212-541-4684 Fax 212-391-4684 www.MTIShows.com Originally produced on Broadway by DreamWorks Theatricals and Neal Street Productions.

Set in 1943 Los Angeles during the Zoot Suit Riots, APA Acting, Technical Theatre, and Costume Design present this reimagining of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet as it places the star-crossed lovers in a city divided by culture and conflict. Romeo is the son of a white Navy family stationed in LA, while Juliet is a proud Chicana from the Capulet family, deeply rooted in the zoot suit–wearing Pachuco community. As racial tensions and violence escalate between servicemen and Mexican American youth, their forbidden love becomes even more dangerous. Amid prejudice, pride, and protest, the two must choose between loyalty to family and the transformative power of love in a time of war.

PLAYLIST 2025 is a big rock ‘n’ roll concert filled with the latest creative work from our APA MMET Popular Music and Media students premiering original music and music videos, paired with the best in contemporary music! Also involving APA’s Technical Theatre and Costume Design departments, this is an entirely student-curated show that speaks directly to their generation, all while upholding the same high entertainment standards you have come to expect from APA.

APA’s Dramatic Production Department presents the annual 10 Minute Play Festival where student playwrights and directors will premiere their original exploratory 10 Minute plays accompanied by creative work from APA’s Acting, Costume Design, and Technical Theatre Departments.

Please be advised that these dramatic student works-in-progress may contain sensitive content and mature themes.

Join us for the 2025 Sounds of the Season: Holidays on the Silver Screen, celebrating the holiday season around the globe and it might even include snow! The APA Orchestra will perform iconic music from films, television, and stage, featuring artists from all APA pathways (Acting, Costume Design, Dance, Dramatic Production, Media, Musical Theatre, Popular Music, Orchestra, and Technical Theatre). ! The Saturday show is extra special because it is the annual benefit concert for the EEFA (Educational Enrichment Foundation for the Arts) which supports APA as well as the vibrant arts programs offered by the HBUHSD feeder middle schools.

This captivating musical blends catchy tunes, belly laughs, and heartfelt moments, making it a perfect adventure for the entire family.
