The Theatre Curriculum at SCDS is designed so that students recognize and appreciate the purpose of this culturally-based art form while meaningfully participating.

Theatre students explore the world–past, present and future–through play reading, classroom performances, and fully realized productions. Using the media of body, breath, and voice, students come to know the work in a way that brings this art form into their everyday lives.

The Theatre Program encourages students to see the world through the eyes of the art it creates and the stories that continue to be told on the stage. Middle School students may participate in fully staged musical and non-musical productions, as well as their twice yearly Fine Arts Nights. The Upper School program offers students the opportunity to perform on stage in both musical and non-musical productions. Acting Ensemble, the advanced class, performs within the framework of the class as well as participating twice yearly in our Fine Arts Nights.
