Performing Arts

 

Once you complete our “Foundations of Theatre” class, you will possess the skills to act a leading role in a play or to direct one for our Annual Theatre Festival. We offer advanced, advanced training on theatre art. You may even find yourself directing a full-length, faculty-supported play of your choice someday, if you put in the time and effort. We empower our students to do their own work, you can imagine. We know no better way to learn.

 

We are flexible too. If you play a varsity sport, for example, you could engage us in that trimester by joining our popular Impulse Comedy Troupe, or, you could request to play a smaller role in any of our other offerings. And not to worry, we always provide a “varsity level” arts experience in every single trimester so you won’t miss out.

I imagine you already know about our Parents' Weekend Musical in October, a must-see highlight of our theatre program. We, all of us (some 60 strong, including six faculty), come back for a three-day “preseason” prior to the School’s official opening to rehearse and tech all day long. It may be exhausting, but no one has more fun than we do! For singers, we also provide easy opportunity for lessons and a great choral program in the Music Department plus a re-opening fest favorite, the Broadway Cabaret.
