Young actors learn the foundational skills needed to pursue careers on stage, screen, and television.
Over the span of two years, Residential High School actors test their growing craft in a series of ever-increasing challenges including scene presentations, rehearsal projects, cabarets, dance demonstrations, and main stage productions. The focus is on developing sound values and techniques that form the entire student—voice, physical instrument, intellect, creative spirit—as well as the basis of a life-long pursuit of excellence.
Led by professional artists and performers, the Drama program is built on a conservatory model and provides training in the following areas:
Acting | Voice and Singing | Movement and Dance | Technical Theatre
Seniors participate in the Unified Theatre Auditions in New York and Chicago, where they audition for the foremost colleges and conservatories in America.
