Theatre Arts

In this course, students will push their theatre artistry to the max by exploring and studying Performance Stage Craft with Theatre Professionals! Learn to harness your acting and creative sensitivity to the world around you in this Beginner to Advanced Process Course. This course will provide students with a solid foundation in using one’s inner and external resources. The culmination of these skills will be employed in learning the basics of characterization and successfully landing a role.

The greatest resource in this course is the student, and their discovery and development of their potential to explore the human condition creatively as a student artist. Join us and become part of the mission to foster societal growth through theatre arts.
Theatre Arts will be offered remotely for the 2020-2021 school year.
