Tribute to Barbara Gensler Performance

A Tribute Performance for retiring Drama Director and Teacher, Barbara Gensler, 3-5:30pm, in the Auditorium. Tickets are required and advance tickets are highly recommended for this once-in-a-lifetime tribute to “Mrs. G,” performed by alumni from around the world.

This show promises to be an amazing celebration. More than 40 alumni from the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s are coming together from across the country to collaborate on the performance.

This event will take place in the SHS Auditorium (soon to be renamed the Barbara Gensler Theatre for Drama and the Performing Arts). Come and see all the folks who jumped in to pay tribute to Mrs. G - after her 45 years of creating hundreds of productions!

The SHS Alumni Association is also compiling a tribute book for Barbara Gensler, which is open to anyone wishing to submit a message to her.  The form and online registration have options for this book.
