The Arts: Theater Program


A flair for the dramatic. The theater program provides students with an appreciation of the history of drama and an understanding of contemporary theater. Students develop both an awareness of the senses necessary to convey moods and emotions and an ability to apply energy, movement and concentration to a stage role.

Western Reserve Academy's theater program is committed to bringing as many students as possible into productions each year, and a variety of performance vehicles attracts a wide group of interested students.

Courses include dramatic performance, dramatic technology and public speaking.

Theater Program Highlights:

  • Three major productions each year, including musical, dramatic and classic productions, and student-directed plays
  • 400-seat fully equipped theater
  • Permanent stage with orchestra pit
  • Control room complete with Mackie 16 x 8 Recording/PA console and Strand Lighting 300 Series 250-channel memory console
