THEATRE

The Theatre department is intensive: All students will learn about directing, script writing, acting, and technical theater. We also offer students the opportunity to become members of the International Thespian Society where they can compete at the state and national level. Students who are interested in theater – stage and film – should consider the program as it is nearly impossible to join a college theatre program without having previous work in the theatre. Students in the theatre tract will have an opportunity to be adjudicated, perform for the community, perform for their peers, observe professional theater performances and learn from visiting instructors. While the theatre industry can be a difficult one to navigate, students will be given the tools they need to succeed. They will make connections and contacts with professionals in the theatre and film industry. Seniors will be preparing for auditions and application processes that would not necessarily happen in their PLT. SoFA theatre students can expect to participate in: the State Festival in October each year, one spring show and fall show, the Fine Arts Fest (usually in February), improvisational shows, and performances throughout the year for various schools and school groups.
