Game On and Glam Up: Special Events at High School Musical

Join us October 25 for our special fundraising events: Sharpay’s Hair Studio and our Basketball Knock-Out Tournament!

Fun Ways to Support Vandegrift Theatre Co.

This year’s musical is not just about curtain up and light the lights — this fall, it’s also about hoops and hairspray! As we gear up for the Vandegrift Theatre Company’s production of High School Musical, the Booster Club is serving up two creative (and totally Wildcats-approved) ways to get in on the fun: the Knock-Out Basketball Fundraiser and Sharpay’s Hair Studio. Both events are happening between the matinee and evening performances on Saturday, October 25 at 4:30 pm!

Knock-Out Fundraiser

Think you’ve got game? Step onto the court and take your shot during our Knock-Out Basketball Fundraiser! Players will go head-to-head in a fast-paced elimination challenge to win — wait for it — a basketball signed by the High School Musical cast. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or just out to have a good time, this event is all about school spirit and supporting the arts.

Come cheer on your friends, take some great photos, and enjoy an afternoon of fun competition. All proceeds go straight back to supporting the incredible students who make Vandegrift Theatre Co. such a powerhouse of creativity.

Sharpay’s Hair Studio

Looking for a little sparkle before or after showtime? Visit Sharpay’s Hair Studio in the lobby between performances to get your “Wildcat glam” on! Our pop-up salon offers fun and festive hair styling — think glitter, braids, and plenty of accessories — inspired by East High’s very own drama queen, Sharpay Evans.

It’s a great way for kids (and let’s be honest, parents too!) to add a little extra shine before the curtain rises. Proceeds from Sharpay’s Hair Studio also benefit the Booster Club, helping fund everything from set materials to costumes and student enrichment.

Why It Matters

Every ticket, every fundraiser, every sparkly hair strand helps us keep high-quality theatre opportunities alive at Vandegrift. Our students work tirelessly on and off stage to bring these productions to life — and community participation makes all the difference.

So grab your sneakers, your glitter, and your best Wildcats spirit — and join us in celebrating the arts, one shot (and one shimmer) at a time!
