Drama and Technical Theater
Drama and Production Technology are part of every Middle School student’s performing arts program. In eighth grade, drama class builds on the sixth grade and seventh grade performing arts classes and includes a range of exploration, from public speaking and writing monologues and scenes to acting and collaborating on a full-grade culminating performance. A Middle School Drama Club production is offered in the fee-based Afterschool Enrichment program.
Upper School Theater is an inclusive program fed by the unique contributions of each ensemble member. Our Upper School theater season offers diverse opportunities for all students, regardless of experience. Anyone who wants to audition will be cast in a role; anyone who wants to be part of the stage crew will be put to work. The performing arts community includes a dedicated, creative, and resilient cohort of technical theater students who provide invaluable support for plays, concerts, assemblies, and numerous events in Franklin Theater throughout the year. They do all this while developing skills in various areas of production technology and design.
