Theater

Theater is offered to K-12th grade students as a collaboration through Music and Art. Theater participation allows students to practice public speaking and team building skills, helps students develop prosocial behaviors, as well as problem-solving and creative-thinking skills. Elementary students will usually put on a musical in the fall while secondary students will have an opportunity to participate in a musical in the spring through elective coursework.
