High School Program
Our high school program produces 2 mainstage productions each season (a fall play and spring musical) as well as 3 performances connected to our classes and a catered musical theater cabaret for the community.
Our Productions
Fall Play
The Actor’s Role in Contemporary American Theater
This class seeks to not only teach essential acting skills that can be applied in any theatrical situation, but to also immerse students in the world of contemporary theater and the process through which plays are created and produced. This class culminates in the workshop of a new play with a professional playwright.
Spring Musical
Masquerade
Building on the work of the previous year, this course seeks to arm student with the tools necessary to create and produce their own work. Students form a theater company and devise a new piece that they produce in the spring.
Shakespeare’s Super Dead
Shakespeare’s Super Dead
Students use the works of William Shakespeare and their modern adaptations to interrogate the world they’ve inherited and to practice forging the world they want to live in. This class culminates in the creation of a one-hour touring version of a piece that students bring directly to the members of their local community–in schools, at parks, maybe even a Starbucks.
Masquerade
Props and Performing Objects
Students combine their love of theater and visual arts, gaining hands-on experience in creating a wide range of props while engaging in innovative problem-solving.
