322 – Dunwoody High Reopens Its Renovated Theater with Little Women – Amanda Lower

Podcast 322 – Dunwoody High Reopens Its Renovated Theater with Little Women – Amanda Lower Dunwoody High School’s newly renovated theater is stepping into the spotlight with the Broadway musical Little Women. Director of Theatre Amanda Lower explains how the upgrade is transforming the Wildcat Theatre program and giving students hands-on experience with professional-level lighting and sound. A new LED lighting system lets students control stage color and mood digitally instead of swapping old-school gels, creating a more polished show while teaching real technical theater skills. Amanda also shares how classes like acting, improv, technical theater, and public speaking help students build confidence, creativity, and teamwork. Beyond the stage, the Dunwoody High speech team is also finding success in competitions around metro Atlanta. Opening night Friday includes a special gala celebrating the renovated theater, complete with refreshments and a short video showing off the new lighting and sound system. It’s a big moment for arts education in Dunwoody.   Full episode summary lives here:  whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-322 What’s Up Dunwoody Links:   🎧 All the podcast episodes. whatsupdunwoody.com/podcasts   🔥 Local events around the city. whatsupdunwoody.com/events   🍔 Dunwoody restaurant guide. whatsupdunwoody.com/food   🏠 Homes for sale. whatsupdunwoody.com/homes   🦷 Best orthodontist in town. whatsupdunwoody.com/village   🏈 Bring it home campaign. whatsupdunwoody.com/bringithome   🚎 Dunwoody trolley tour. whatsupdunwoody.com/tour   📍 Find local businesses. whatsupdunwoody.com/local   🛎️ Book a hotel staycation. whatsupdunwoody.com/hotels   📫 Join our email list. whatsupdunwoody.com/email   ⚽️ Get to know Matt. whatsupdunwoody.com/matt   🦸🏻‍♂️ Origin story of the podcast. whatsupdunwoody.com/origins   👕 What’s Up Dunwoody merch. whatsupdunwoody.com/merch
