Welcome to the world of a theatre artist! During the year, you will journey through the many facets of the theatrical process including acting, playwriting, set design, lighting and digital design, costume design, and dramaturgy. The work will engage a historical perspective of theatre while also building an understanding of utilizing theatre as your voice for creative and social change.

Optional Second Elective as Pass/Fail: The typical course load is six classes. In the 8-9 division, students may opt to take a second elective in (visual arts, performing arts, or computer science) in lieu of a study hall. This is a good option for students who are exceptionally organized and tend to manage their time well; it is not a good option for students with busy extracurricular schedules or who struggle with time management and organization. The seventh class does not count as a graduation requirement. It will not appear on students’ transcripts, and it must be taken as Pass/Fail.
