The 47th Annual Wheeling Hardwood Classic will take place on December 22nd, 23rd, 26th, and 27th at Wheeling High School.
We are thrilled to announce that Wheeling’s Musical Theatre Department has been selected to perform at the State Theatre Festival, held January 8–10 at the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts! Our students will have the incredible opportunity to perform twice for an audience of more than 1,200 students.
This selection is the highest honor a high school production can receive in Illinois, and we could not be more proud of every student and adult who helped create this extraordinary and deeply meaningful show.
To celebrate and send our cast off with love, we invite you to join us for two special State Bound Encore Performances, “The Remount Ride”, on January 2nd and 3rd at 6:00 PM in the Wheeling Theatre.
This marks the third time in eight years that our program has qualified for State, and we are honored to have 44 remarkable students representing Wheeling with their talent, heart, and dedication.
