North Forsyth High School’s NoFo Stage Tackles Mystery and Music in Dynamic 2025-2026 Theatre Season

North Forsyth High School’s NoFo Stage is preparing for a creative and high-energy theatre season that blends mystery, comedy, and musical spectacle. The 2025–2026 lineup features five productions spanning December through spring, offering audiences crime-solving storylines, unexpected twists, and beloved musical classics.

The season opens with Elf Jr. on December 11–12, 2025, launching a theatrical journey packed with suspense and entertainment designed to elevate student artistry and community engagement.

A Season Driven by Mystery and Musical Imagination

NoFo Stage is widely recognized as one of Georgia’s most competitive high school theatre programs, regularly competing at the Region One Act Competition and statewide performance championships. This year’s theme emphasizes mystery, music, doo-wop and controlled chaos, with characters navigating strange plants, dark secrets, and adventures aboard fast-moving trains.

The artistic variety ensures opportunities for every student, from first-time actors to seasoned seniors preparing college portfolios.

Featured Productions and Performance Schedule

Production Title Performance Dates
Elf Jr. December 11–12, 2025
Jingle Cast December 11, 2025
Guys and Dolls January 23, 2026 (Opening)
Little Shop of Horrors Spring 2026
Additional Spring Shows To Be Announced

The musicals and dramatic productions combine tight comedic timing, emotional depth, and ensemble-driven storytelling—hallmarks of NoFo Stage’s acclaimed artistic identity.

Leadership Excellence and Creative Vision

The season is guided by Theatre Director Colleen Martin, recently honored as Teacher of the Month. Martin is known for her student-centered directing style that emphasizes emotional authenticity, strong character construction, and theatrical excellence.

Musical Director Gene Seese leads the vocal and orchestral direction, ensuring that the program’s musical output matches the precision of its dramatic work. Their collaboration elevates each production from rehearsal to final curtain.

Classic Musical Energy Meets Cult Comedy Favorites

The winter and spring season features two audience favorites with contrasting tones. Guys and Dolls, opening January 23, brings classic Broadway charm with its iconic blend of romance, high-stakes gambling and memorable musical numbers.

Later in the spring, Little Shop of Horrors delivers a cult-classic comedy experience filled with outrageous moments, horror elements and unforgettable doo-wop musical sequences. Audiences can expect suspense, humor and high-level production execution.

A Season Designed to Challenge and Surprise

With mystery-driven storytelling at its core, this year’s lineup invites audiences to participate both emotionally and intellectually. Unexpected plot twists, intense characters and musical spectacle define what NoFo Stage hopes will be its most ambitious year yet.

Tickets are available through Ludus Ticketing at nofostage.ludus.com. The department continues earning statewide recognition for innovation and artistic quality, proving that student theatre can compete with professional standards.
