Medway High School auditorium seats approximately 575 people. In 2018, The Little Mermaid was performed, and in March 2019, Medway High School presented Once on This Island, which was performed three times. Once on Friday night, followed by a Saturday matinee and a Saturday night show. This schedule of three shows has become what the program has stuck to ever since.
