THEATER
Through the study of movement, voice, text analysis, writing, and directing, students learn to apply critical thinking and aesthetic values to the pursuit of acting and storytelling.
The Middle and Upper School present a drama and musical performance every year. Students are encouraged to audition and participate in all facets of the production including acting, dance, singing, and theater tech.
New Works Program
We're proud to announce our New Works Program for both the Upper School and Middle School plays. While our musicals will feature beloved classics, the plays will be brand-new, created in partnership with professional playwrights and written especially for our students.
Through the New Works Program, playwrights collaborate with students to design original scripts that:
- Feature large, dynamic casts
- Center female-driven narratives
- Pass the Bechdel test
- Honor youth voices and capacity
- Engage with themes relevant to our community
- Present intellectual and technical challenges (especially for Upper School productions)

UPCOMING PRODUCTION FOR THE UPPER SCHOOL
Annie Jr.
Book by Thomas Meehan
Music by Charles Strouse
Lyrics by Martin Charnin
April 30-May 2
It’s time for this year’s Middle School Musical: Annie Jr.!
Annie has spent her whole life at an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. But she knows she’s not truly an orphan—her parents left a note when they dropped her off as a baby, promising they’d return someday. (They just… haven’t gotten around to it yet.) Determined and hopeful, Annie sets out on a journey to find her family, meeting many interesting characters along the way: the lonely billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his kind assistant Grace Farrell, the scheming Rooster Hannigan and the classic Jersey girl Lily St. Regis.
Join us as our talented cast of over 40 middle school performers brings this beloved story to life, celebrating hope, resilience, and the true meaning of family.

Theatrical Production and Design
Students have the opportunity to concentrate on the major areas of theatre technology and production. They explore advanced set design and construction techniques, the creative process involved in translating a script into a visual design, and the essentials of developing costumes, props, lighting and sound designs. Students will be invited to investigate a broad range of production design topics, which may include puppet and mask creation, building and painting techniques, renderings in costume and set design, and model building.
