上学校: A passion for performance
Lakeside’s 上学校 戏剧 program is a welcoming community, where students can connect with others who share their love and passion for performance. We offer four yearlong courses in 戏剧, and students can enter the program in either 戏剧 I or 戏剧 II. Students study acting – including ensemble and solo work, 动作和舞台战斗, 跳舞, 即兴创作——剧本创作, 导演, 戏剧(研究). Advanced courses include a 焦点 on 莎士比亚, character mask and clowning techniques, and participation in ACT Theatre’s Young Playwrights Program (YPP).

The 上学校 戏剧 program stages five productions each year. Students participating in 戏剧 can choose to 玩 a role on stage as actors, 或者在幕后, 作为董事, 生产商, 还有舞台和灯光工作人员. 作品包括一部音乐剧, and an evening of one-act 玩s performed, 导演, and often written by Lakeside students. At least two of the five productions have open auditions, meaning that any student – not just those taking a 戏剧 class – can try out.
The program prepares students to participate in 戏剧 at the college level, and Lakeside students have gone on to have professional careers in the arts. All students will gain a deeper understanding of theater which supports a lifelong appreciation for the art form.
