Students interested in Drama have the opportunity to participate in stage productions during the fall, winter, and spring seasons as part of our Afternoon Program, and/or in drama classes that meet during the academic day.

Afternoon Drama: Fall and Spring

In both the fall and the spring, students participate in staged productions of various genres.  Performing a mix of standard dramatic repertoire, student-directed shows, and even student-written shows, our actors and actresses have opportunities both to hone their skills and to step out of their comfort zone in a safe environment.  All students are welcome to participate in our Drama program; those wishing to have lead roles are auditioned at the beginning of each season.

Drama Course

Introduction to the Actor's Craft is course which meets during the academic day. Students work on developing the voice, the complete body, the mind, and the heart of an actor. Textual analysis, character sketch, stage combat, and scene study culminate in a workshop performance at the end of each quarter.
