Lord of the Flies Spring 2026 March 26-28, 2026

Join us for Lord of the Flies

Step into a gripping and thought-provoking story as Glendora High School Tartan Theatricals presents Lord of the Flies. Based on William Golding’s classic novel, this intense drama follows a group of boys stranded on a deserted island as their attempt at order quickly unravels into chaos. With powerful performances, striking visuals, and a hauntingly relevant message, this production explores leadership, morality, and the fragile line between civilization and savagery. It’s a bold theatrical experience you won’t want to miss.
