Theater
Take your passion to center stage.
Middle Schoolers begin building a theater foundation in their arts rotations. Sixth graders explore everything from writing original scripts to mounting a full-scale production in their first trimester at PRS. Eighth graders practice basic actor training principles while building confidence and having fun. Upper School theater classes do not require previous experience on stage. Students read, discuss, and perform plays from a variety of global traditions. Weekly scene studies challenge students to share, critique, and be critiqued, while regular practice, workshops, and guest artists involve students in improvisational theater. Students build and refine their acting techniques by analyzing scenes from films and attending local productions at venues like the Old Globe, North Coast Rep, and La Jolla Playhouse.
