Activities

West Side Stage

West Side Stage is a club that deals with theatre. This club is not required to do any shows but more mere fun. This is how you can meet people that you really don't know. We do activities throughout the year like going to other schools' shows, car washes, and more! The fee to join is $50 ($52 online) per person and can be payed at our WSS Registration Party on August 12th at 6:00 PM in the theatre room at LSW. By joining West Side Stage, you will receive tickets for shows at Lee's Summit West, Lee's Summit North, Lee's Summit High School, and Ruskin High School. Also, with your membership you recieve a free WSS shirt, plus the opportunity to participate in our many activities such as our pool party and lock-in. If you want to letter in theatre then you must be a part of WSS and complete the checklist of things to do.
