Unleashing Imagination on Stage

Lake Highland’s Theatre Arts program instructs students in all aspects of theatre, including acting, dramaturgy, playwriting, and technical theatre. In the classroom and during rehearsals, students are encouraged to expand their sense of self through innovative thinking. This process challenges students’ perceptions of the world and broadens their understanding of theatre.

By focusing on ensemble, experimentation, imaginative work, and self-awareness, the Theatre Arts program enables all students from first grade onward to participate in the creation of high-quality, creative theatre that challenges and excites both the actor and the audience.
