Two Must-See Shows at Johns Creek Theatre
Looking for a night of laughter, intrigue, and unforgettable live theatre? Johns Creek Theatre invites you to experience not one, but two spectacular productions this fall:
The Vaudevillains and Life Is Short.
The Vaudevillains
Written by Oliver Lansley on behalf of Les Enfants Terribles, The Vaudevillains is a wildly imaginative production brimming with quirky characters, witty storytelling, and a flair for the unexpected. With its vaudeville-inspired charm and dark humor, this show promises to entertain, delight, and leave audiences talking long after the curtain falls.
Life Is Short
Balancing comedy and heart, Life Is Short by Craig Pospisil dives into the everyday moments that make life meaningful. From humor to reflection, this piece reminds us why live theatre is the perfect way to celebrate the human experience.
Special Halloween Performance!
For a truly unique night out, don’t miss the Halloween performance of The Vaudevillains on October 31st at 5:00 pm. Costumes, atmosphere, and theatre magic combine to make an unforgettable evening.
Showtimes
- Both plays: October 29–30 at 7:00 pm
- The Vaudevillains Halloween Special: October 31 at 5:00 pm
Tickets on sale now at www.jchstheatre.com.


Volunteers
JCHS needs parent volunteers, so please join the PTSA.
All school volunteers will need to register to assist with working in the office, attendance office, drama department, team meals, senior treats, Wellness Wednesday, senior carnival, chaperones, etc.
Any task that will allow you to interact with students will require you to register as a volunteer.
Please follow the link to access the FCS Volunteer Registration page. Register as a Volunteer - Fulton County School System (fultonschools.org)
All visitors must remember to bring in their driver's license each time they sign in. This is non-negotiable. The license must be scanned each time you come to the office. It will not hold onto the information like the other system. So if you are coming in for a parent/counseling/teacher/administrator meeting, you must remember to bring your license. It must be the physical license; digital will not suffice.
Attendance Office Volunteers NeededLooking to get involved at JCHS? We have volunteer shifts available in the attendance office! For more information, please reach out to Ashley Mullins at ashleydmullins@gmail.com.
