Find Your Place

Ever dreamed of belting out a showstopper, bringing a hilarious improv scene to life, or creating a space where everyone can flourish?

This comprehensive approach prepares our students for creating a variety of performances, including improvisatory sketches, monologues, scenes, and mini-musicals. These activities foster Christ-like empathy and effective communication essential for building strong communities. To this end, participation in the performing arts (whether theater, music, or debate) is a requirement for Middle School students and encouraged for those in Upper School.

    Theater students will:

      • Participate in improvisatory exercises, games, and performances to explore emotions, active listening, physicality, and collaborative storytelling.
      • Delve into scripted monologues and dialogues, analyzing characters and developing scene performances with attention to detail in costumes, props, and stage elements.
      • Explore musical theater, studying live productions, crafting their characters, and enhancing relational skills through discussion improvisations.

        One thing that I love about the theater program is that no matter how badly I mess up, I will always have people around me to encourage me and help me grow in my skills.
