Exposure to drama and the stage begins in the Early Childhood years and grows into full production opportunities beginning in the fifth grade. All fifth through eighth-grade students explore the fundamentals of theater through drama classes. Building on the skills developed in Lower School and Early Childhood, students gain in-class performance experience and the opportunity to participate in Middle School and all-school productions. In the Upper School, drama classes are offered for ninth through 12th-grade students. Upper School students have many performance and production opportunities, including Upper School and all-school performances, as well as state-wide drama festivals and competitions.
