Theater

Theater at EHS

Effective theater can move an audience to laugh, to think, or even to cry. It transports us out of our everyday lives and into a world where characters speak what they feel, and not always what they ought to say.

Theater at Episcopal challenges every student involved to participate as both an actor and a stage technician. “Everyone does everything” is the best way to sum up our collaborative, active approach to the work we do both in classes and in the after-school program. We produce a wide variety of productions in a dynamic and creative environment where students learn to take risks and communicate with honesty, clarity, and passion.

The three things that I’m always using in theater at Episcopal are my brain, my hands, and my heart. I came here knowing that I loved to perform, but since joining EHS theater, I have learned how to use power tools, decode Shakespeare, run the light board, fix costumes, move giant puppets, and so much more. Working on both sides of the curtain makes the whole process of bringing the play to life that much more meaningful. It’s the kind of experience that not every school offers, and I love it.
