Theatre

Enumclaw High School's theatre department operates at a high standard. The 5th Avenue theatre in downtown Seattle holds a 'High School Theatre' Awards show every year, much like the Tony Awards for Broadway. They award things such as 'Best Overall Musical Production,' and 'Best Performance By A Chorus' all the way through 'Best Costumes' and 'Best Program Design' to high school shows all over the western Washington area. In the 2006–2007 school year, Enumclaw High School's Theatre Department received three nominations from the 5th Avenue for their production of 'Chicago.' Those nominations were in the categories of 'Outstanding Orchestra,' 'Best Performance by a Small Ensemble—Cell Block Girls,' and 'Best Choreography.' A cast member commented, "The experience was one I will remember for the rest of my life."
