SHORT SUMMARY OF PROGRAM: Theatre Arts students will receive wide-ranging and intensive instruction in the techniques, aesthetics, and literature of the theatre. Core classes provide the foundation for Theatre Arts curriculum and include:

• Acting
• Voice/Movement

Both core and elective classes give students tremendous opportunity for individual instruction, with a teacher-student ratio of approximately 1:4.
