This year's musical is "Big Fish." Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, BIG FISH centers on Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest… and then some! Edward’s incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him – most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales. Overflowing with heart, humor, and spectacular stagecraft, BIG FISH is an extraordinary new Broadway musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre – for an experience that’s richer, funnier, and BIGGER than life itself.
Auditions will take place NEXT WEEK!

We recently installed seats and carpeting in our revamped auditorium!
It is no secret that facility upgrades are both necessary and costly. We partnered with our KM Community through a facilities sponsorship program to help make these upgrades possible. One such opportunity is the Buy a Seat Campaign: for $300 per seat you can make a one-time commitment that will help fund our new auditorium.
The district and our local community will widely use this facility, and all seat sponsors will receive permanent recognition of your contribution on a plaque. The campaign will be first-come-first-served and will expire when all seats are sold.
To learn more about the project, visit our site at https://www.kmsd.edu/o/kmsd/page/fine-arts-fund. To purchase a seat visit https://kettle-moraine-fine-arts-fund.square.site.
Thank you for supporting our students and community!
