The Theatre Arts Department produces at least four productions a year:

Fall Show - will cast 5 - 15 students and auditions are open to the entire student body.

This will usually be either a classic or contemporary straight play (no music), i.e. Shakespearean, Tennessee Williams, or a new work written within the last 10 years.

The selection depends on what the rest of the season will contain.

Children's Show - will cast 5 - 15 students primarily from the Theatre I, II, III, and IV classes, but possibly open auditions for some roles. This show may travel to other schools or children's hospitals to perform, as well as doing productions on campus at both the Lower and Upper schools. This is always a fun family event.

One-Act Plays or Short-Plays - primarily cast from the Theatre I, II, III, and IV classes, but possibly open auditions for some roles. This play(s) concentrates on the performance, not the scenery. It will usually be done in a very minimalist style, i.e. simple set, monochromatic or basic costumes, little lighting and sound.

Spring Musical - (Done in conjunction with the Choral and Band Departments) This will always be the biggest production of the year. Open to the entire student body. We will cast 15 - 30 students, plus 5 - 10 technical positions will be available. This show will be about the full spectacle of the theatre. With live music provided by our band and choral students, major emphasis will be put on lighting and sound effects. Sets are provided by help from the Friends of the Arts (our parent group) and/or our arts students. This is truly the event of the year and everyone always wants to be a part of the spring musical! Last spring we performed an awesome production of Aida.
