Theatre

Theatre Workshop is the suggested starting point for the Theatre curriculum. This survey class will expose students to a variety of the elements that make up the art form of theatre. Specific areas of focus include improvisation, acting performance styles, the structure of play production, and an overview of technical elements such as scenery, lighting, makeup, and costuming. No theatrical experience (either on stage or backstage) is necessary. Field trips to see professional plays are an integral part of the class and will be offered when possible.

Acting Studio is designed for the student who wishes to further their training in acting. Students can take this course yearly, as the curriculum materials change every year. Every year, students will experience a comprehensive focus on scene study using various approaches to acting. Each cycle will cover a variety of acting styles, including dramatic, comedic, classical, and musical theatre. Every semester concludes with an Acting Studio Showcase performance, which is decided upon by the class (monologues, scenes, one act play, musical numbers, or full-length play). Students will also take field trips to see two professional productions of plays or musicals during the semester.

The Theatre Department produces five productions each school year
which includes a musical, winter play, spring play, freshman/sophomore play,
and student directed one acts festival. Along with acting onstage, our students
also build sets, hang/focus lights, run sound, work in the costume shop, and
stage manage all of the productions.
