Theatre
The Theatre Program emphasizes the students’ creative growth in all areas of theatrical theory and practice. Combining curricular and co-curricular paths, the overall goal of the program is to help students discover and develop their individual and collective artistic voices. Classes in theatre help students develop the craft of on-stage performance, set construction and stage lighting, and stage direction. The co-curricular aspect occurs after classes in the work of producing shows for the main stage. It is there the skills learned in the classroom are put to practical use in rigorous staging, technical and dress rehearsals culminating in performances shared with the greater community. Through the study of acting, directing and stagecraft, students develop their emotional and sensory awareness and better appreciate the commitment and discipline necessary for the expression of this art form.
