Welcome to Reitz Memorial High School. My name is Kevin Schenk, and I have
been in charge of publicity for three years. Memorial provides students with the ability
to grow each and every day. The Reitz Memorial High School Theatre Department
welcomes you to our fall musical, Little Women. The sets, props, and costumes are
being used by the actors. We believe that we have the best Theatre Department in
the state of Indiana. Be sure to visit our beautifully designed website, http://mhs.
evansville.net/theatre! We ask that you turn off your stupid cell phones as they not
only cause distraction, but also interfere with our sound system. If you are caught with
a cell phone in use, you will be asked to leave immediately. Thank you and enjoy the
show! Medi, consicit. Accivit; nocum perissidem ius C. Benam inaturs cescesimor at.
