Theater
Take your passion to center stage.
Sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade students build an acting foundation in the Middle School Arts Program's Theater rotation. Upper School students in theater arts classes, read and discuss at least six famous plays from world literature, as well as rehearse and perform scenes from the plays. In all theater arts classes, weekly scene study requires students to perform, critique, and be critiqued, while regular practice, workshops, and guest artists expose students to the principles of improvisational theater. Students build on and refine their acting techniques by analyzing scenes from films and sampling some of the excellent live theater in the area.
