Austin Middle School- Decatur Alabama

Every great wizard needs a wand, and every great theatre production needs a little magic behind the scenes! 🪄
Austin Middle School Theatre Co. is thrilled to give a HUGE thank-you to Callahan Computers for sponsoring our upcoming production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! From 3D printing our wands and props to helping us bring special effects to life, Callahan Computers is helping us turn our magical vision into reality. Their support is making it possible for our students to create an unforgettable theatrical experience, and we are so grateful to have community partners who believe in the magic of student theatre!
