Our Middle School Theatre students recently took the stage for the Theatre Skills Expo, offering a captivating glimpse into their creative journey! Through a collaborative method known as devising, they are developing vocal and movement techniques, strengthening ensemble dynamics, and beginning the exciting process of crafting an original performance.

The Theatre Skills Expo provided a behind-the-scenes look at the hard work and creativity that fuel their artistry—showcasing not only their growth as performers but also as thoughtful collaborators. By honing these skills, they are building a strong foundation for what promises to be an extraordinary performance this spring. We can’t wait to see their creativity come to life on stage!
