Middle School Theatre and Drama

In Middle School, we offer a variety of training, education, opportunity, and experience in drama and theater.

For our curricular offerings, the 6th grade "wheel" class includes a nine-week mini-class on theater, where students are introduced to basic acting techniques including character development, improv, and monologues. In 8th grade, we offer a semester-long drama class that includes improv, character development, breaking down a scene, and much more. This class is a deeper dive into acting techniques and prepares students to move on to a more advanced class in High School.

All Middle School students may audition and participate in our extracurricular theater offerings:
