We believe that the theatre is a fundamental part of a complete education. By fostering artistic and intellectual curiosity, our boys develop crucial skills like confidence, empathy, and resilience that extend far beyond the classroom. We nurture passions that translate directly into leadership and strong communication skills.
- Lower Division Productions: Our 3rd and 4th graders participate in a full-grade theatrical performance, providing every boy with the experience of mounting a production, taking ownership of a role, and developing stage presence.
- 7th Grade Improv/Public Speaking: This essential class prepares students for the next level. Focused on the art of improvisation and Toastmasters fundamentals, boys learn to think on their feet, articulate ideas clearly, and speak with confidence, skills that provide a distinct advantage during high school interviews and presentations.
- Co-Ed Productions: Our upper grades gain the invaluable experience of working in a co-ed production environment through collaborations with neighboring schools.
- Technical Theatre Crew: Boys in Grades 7 and 8 have the chance to join the Technical Theatre Crew. This hands-on program allows students to learn professional skills in lighting design, sound engineering, and stage management, offering a unique opportunity to build a show from behind the scenes.

Drama helps our students think outside the box in unique ways because they are marrying their critical and creative minds to imagine exaggerated scenarios and explore them.
