The theater classes teach students the basic techniques of performing arts, including directing, acting, lighting, costume design, and set design. Upper and Middle School students are able to practice these crafts through University School’s accomplished theater productions, either on stage or behind the scenes. Interested Upper School students can join the mentorship program by participating in the Theatrical Direction course which enables them to direct the Middle School musical as well as mentor Junior Thespians. Our students are Cappies nominees, winners and Thespian district and state champions.

There are no performances at this time. Please check back over the summer for updated information.
