Self-Expression & Exploration
Our theatre courses teach creative problem-solving skills through practical, hands-on experience. Enhancing students' appreciation of theatre as a literary and performing art, whether they're participating in a stage production or attending one, is our goal.
On stage, students are able to use their singing, acting, and dance skills to explore their ability to entertain and communicate a scripted work. In class, students are asked on a daily basis to stand before the class and communicate a single message. The skill base takes the form of improvisational games and skits, scripted works and original works.
Theatre teaches students to think through self-expression and allows exploration of their artistic voice. They gain the confidence and skills to follow their passion wherever it may take them, including, of course, the stage. Our theatre programs are open to all students, regardless of experience level, and offer courses in acting, design, directing, musical theatre, public speaking, and theatre technology.
Our theatre programs are offered both during the school day for credit and outside of the school day as an extracurricular activity.
