Just as vital is the incredible support from our community, especially our outstanding booster club, whose generosity, time, and enthusiasm help bring each production to life. When that strong foundation is paired with the extraordinary talent, passion, and work ethic of the KRHS students, the result is nothing short of exceptional.

Fall Drama Program
Established by Peter A. Mahler in 1975, the Fall drama program of The Kittatinny Players has set forth high expectations of acting and stage craft for the current regime. The torch was passed to Chris Tryde who directed over 20 Fall dramas. Masterpieces have blessed our stage under his direction including "The Crucible," "Our Town" and the Shakespearean classic, "A Midsummer Night’s Dream." For only the third time in the program’s 44 year history, the torch was passed again in 2014 to the current program director, Roy J. Chiariello. His goal is simply to continue the path of excellence set forth by the past.
Spring Musical Program
Established in 1975 by founder Peter A. Mahler, the Kittatinny Players have built a long-standing reputation for excellence in theatrical performance and production at Kittatinny Regional High School. From its earliest years, the program has been recognized for its high standards, professionalism, and commitment to quality. Today, the Kittatinny Players continue to challenge students to grow as performers, technicians, and collaborators, upholding the tradition of excellence established nearly five decades ago. Now one of the largest student-based programs at Kittatinny, nearly 15% of the student population participates in the theater program each year. Rooted in a rich history while looking toward the future, the Kittatinny Players foster creativity, discipline, and a strong sense of community among cast and crew alike.
The Kittatinny Junior Players
Since 2019, the Kittatinny Junior Players have been led by Chris Henke, serving as the official feeder program for the Kittatinny Players. This program provides meaningful theater opportunities for more than 65 seventh- and eighth-grade students each year, helping to build a strong foundation for continued participation at the high school level. The Kittatinny Junior Players are known for producing high-quality performances that reflect both skill development and artistic growth. Most recently, judges at the Sussex County Teen Arts Festival praised the maturity and caliber of the junior high performers, highlighting the strength of the program and its commitment to excellence.
