Through Theatre Arts, students learn more than the art of drama: they learn about themselves and the world around them. This learning enhances the ability to listen, question, interpret, create, communicate, problem-solve and reflect.

 

From a very early age, students have opportunities to perform in front of audiences, through class skits and musical productions presented for the entire Junior School.

 

In the higher grades, students can explore theatre through Middle Division Drama, Grade 9 Drama, and Senior Drama programs.

 

Through their Theatre Arts courses, senior students acquire knowledge and skills necessary to perform, devise, plan and realize a theatre performance; they also design and realize an element of production and provide technical support in a theatre performance. They participate in theatre performances in the different roles of performer, director, designer, and member of a production team.

 

They also explore the roots of world theatre traditions and cultural practices within diverse cultural and historical contexts.
