The Eastside Players of Madison East High School are proud to present As You Like It from June 3rd-6th, 2021. The show will be accessible to stream at any time during the virtual run and purchasing a 'ticket' will allow you to watch the performance as many times as you wish.  

As You Like It is a musical adaptation of the pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare. It was adapted by Shaina Taub and Laurie Woolery with music and lyrics by Shaina Taub. As You Like It features some of Shakespeare’s most memorable speeches and characters as well as an engaging contemporary score written by Shaina Taub.

All students in rising grades 9-12 grade will take their devices and chargers home over the summer. 

Current 12th grade students will turn their device in on June 9th and 10th from 12-4 in the cafeteria during Senior Item Collection Days. Current 12th grade students attending Summer School will turn in their devices at the end of Summer School.

Seniors will also need to transfer their MMSD Google Drive account files and Gmail to a personal account so that they don’t lose any important documents or communications.

Summer offers a great opportunity for students to continue learning and exploring their interests, virtually and (hopefully) in person. This live document provides a list of summer experiences for students including jobs, pre-college programs, enrichment courses, internships, and volunteer opportunities.

Work permits can be issued at East High School during school hours. Additional sites with hours outside of the school day can be found on the Department of Workforce Development Website.
