Geneva High School Theatre Boosters
The Boosters — founded in 2011 and run by parent volunteers — handle ticket sales, playbills, and front-of-house operations while funding scholarships and equipment upgrades. Their support has ranged from purchasing new lighting and sound gear to donating $5,000 to the program this past spring.
With a packed season ahead, the group hopes the community will show support by filling the auditorium and picking up a checkbook that benefits both theatre students and local businesses.
