Our directors came together after COVID and asked ourselves, "Why we do what we do? How can we give our students more opportunities and better experiences in every element and level of the theater performance and theater production?" As a result, we went through each course offered and every production produced, then incorporated and designed more collaboration, hands-on activities, and challenges for our students. We each bring a specific and unique set of skills in our theater craft and actor tool box to teach our students and help them achieve every angle of success. 

From   the   beginning

Where   we   are   now

At the beginning, our students will learn basic skills and tools of the trade and then work toward more differentiation in performance and production quality as they get more involvement in each yearly production. 

We are excited about the upcoming school year in our theater department as we have new members on our team and look forward to collaborating with each other and our students.
