Drama

Lower School Drama

The LS Drama program is focused on collaboration, community, confidence to share, and a progression of skills from year to year.  Students explore literature and various classroom themes through storytelling, story-acting, pretend play, and improvisation.  A process-oriented approach is valued with the goal of putting on several collaborative productions, including the Lower School Fall Community Performance, the 3rd Grade French plays, and the 4th and 5th  Grade Musical. Drama is also used to approach classroom curriculum with interdisciplinary units of study. All PK — Grade 5 students participate in weekly drama instruction and have opportunities to share and perform to formal and informal audiences in Brimmer’s Ruth Corkin Theater. ALL LOWER SCHOOL ARTS

Middle School Drama

Middle School students present a fall play and a spring musical each year, both open to any interested student by audition. In order to gain a full experience of theater arts, students learn the basics of lighting and staging as well as acting. Classes and productions make use of the Ruth Corkin Theatre, with seating for 300 and a professional computerized light and sound room. ALL MIDDLE SCHOOL ARTS

Upper School Drama

A fall play, a winter musical, and student-directed plays in the spring are the heart of the Upper School program. These productions feature a large number of students and active participation in all aspects of the theater, from operating the light and sound boards to assisting with costumes. Upper School students may choose from such electives as Acting for the Stage, Improvisation, and Screenwriting. ALL UPPER SCHOOL ARTS
