About - Middle School Theater
Our Middle School Theater Program runs two times a year: Spring and Fall.
It is open to students in grades 5-8.
Attention 9th Graders: We are opening up our middle school program to 9th graders to be performers and and leaders. 9th graders will get a chance to be a part of the production and be leaders (helping through creative ideas, learning tech and crew word, and mentorship to younger participants.)
This program gets students to work together to put on a play for the community. This program is great for beginners and seasoned actors as everyone gets involved in the creative process.
In the Spring, our Middle Schoolers will perform a One-Act Play, paired with the short play written by the Playwriting Club.
This Spring's One Act Play is: How a Guy Became a Fish
In the Fall, our Middle Schooler will perform a show centered around skits related to a common theme: such as Going Places, and Twisted Tales.
This Fall's Skit Based Play is: Why am I In a Play?
Every winter, a special Youth Production is performed in the Winter. This Youth Production can be for Elementary School, Middle School, High School, or a mix of these students.
Want to be involved with art or crew? Participants can sign up to help bring the show to life through our crew program.
