  1. Congratulations! MRH has such an extraordinary theatre program and Mrs. Pothoff is AWESOME! She is amazing and her classes really bring the students together. Productions are always packed! Pothoff is loved by students and parents!

  3. Congratulation! I am so proud and very sorry to have missed the performances, any changes for a repeat?

  5. Congratulations to the best secondary theatre program in St. Louis! Most people don’t know what incredible time and talent it takes to build a program like this, especially in a smaller school where teachers compete for talented kids, and resources are limited. Theatre is an essential part of the curriculum, and many schools have cut back or eliminated these programs in favor of funding for raising test scores. The MRH school community is the exception. Long may theatre be essential here!
