Performance Art

 

  Our Performance Art department is genuinely excited about bringing out hidden talents in our students. It partners with the music and art departments to put on a drama and a musical every year, and each one is fantastic.  All students are invited to participate and put their different skills to work in a variety of capacities.  Our first-class productions provide the opportunity to practice  teamwork, and to put individual skills together in a common pursuit to achieve something larger.
