  The Theatre Department sponsors summer stock productions and traveling shows, such as Cotton Patch Gospel and  Live Bait. These talented student troupes use the powerful medium of theatre to communicate the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ. During the school year, theatre students who are interested in ministry have opportunities to develop sketches for chapels and other Christian service events.

The theatre arts program gives students experience in the full range of theatre arts including stage craft (scenic design, lighting, costuming), acting, and directing. Click this photo, taken during rehearsal for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,  to see some of the results. Other recent productions have included Pirates of Penzance, Oklahoma!, The Life of Galileo, The Miser, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, As You Like ItAntigone, Our Town, Tartuffe, A Doll's House, Return to the Forbidden Planet, Diary of Anne Frank, Fiddler on the Roof, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, Godspell and many more.
