Trenton HS Musical Theater Facts:
Trenton HS produced many other musicals and operettas prior to 1986 dating back to the 1960s including The Sound of Music, HMS Pinafore, Flower Drum Song, Oklahoma, Funny Girl, The Fantasticks, and many others.
Directors have included Mike Kurilko (Director 2005-present/Vocal and Pit Orchestra Director 1987-present), Denise Paczewitz (2002-2004), Phillip Carr (1991-2001), Maria Panozzo-Preston (1988), Julia Strimer/Salisbury (1982-1987,1989-90), and Jim Schram (1970s-1981)
"Grease" is performed often as a tradition of the department due to demand of the community, students, and alumni! Being very popular at the box office, THS "Grease" ticket sales have purchased 15 headset mic systems, the black scrim curtain used in every production, many auditorium lights including all lighting for the pit, and funded the construction of several large reusable set pieces used by all plays.
Andrew Fitch, THS musical actor 1986-89/THS Band drum major 1988-89, has appeared on Broadway in "Spamalot", "Waitress", "Chicago", "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas", and was a member of the Tony Award winning cast of "Pippin". He was also a member of national touring companies of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Billy Elliott" among others.
Ramon Wodkowski, THS pit orchestra 1991-93, was a pit orchestra clarinetist for "Les Miserables" in London's West End Queen's Theatre.
Katie Kurilko, THS Music Dept 2010-2014/THS drum major 2013-14, was piano accompanist and stage performer at Michigan State University with Broadway performers Carrie Manolakas (Broadway: Elphaba in "Wicked", Sophie in "Mama Mia", Brian Cali (Broadway: "Master Class"), Jason Gillman (Broadway: "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", "Legally Blonde", "Chicago", "Hello Dolly"), Justin Mathew Sergeant (Broadway: "Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark"), Kris Koop Oulette (Broadway: Christine in "Phantom of the Opera", "Cats")
Recent THS musical theater alumni have continued acting study at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, University of Cincinnati, Chicago's Steppenwolf Theater, Oklahoma City College, and at many other state, regional, and national universities and theater companies.
