Performing Arts

Theatre opportunities allow students to discover, develop, and refine their individual talents in a myriad of interesting ways on stage and in the classroom. Beginning in preschool, children learn poems, finger-plays, and improvise in dramatic play scenarios. By Middle School, students are ready to test their skills in our comedy improv troupe and participate in full-length productions, selecting anything from Musical Theatre, to tech-crew, or creating original works.

At each grade level, theatre education is incorporated into the English curriculum from Tenessee Williams to William Shakespeare to Lynn Nottage. Beginning in Grade 9, students have the opportunity to work through a curriculum over four years beginning with Intro to Theatre, three progressive levels of actor training, and also the co-curricular English/Theatre Shakespeare page to stage
