Theatrical Productions: Upper School

The Highlander Theater Company produces two mainstage productions each year (one per semester). As a signature component of our Arts Academy, students are guided by faculty to explore acting, stage management, directing, light and sound design, costuming, house management, box office, marketing, and concessions.

For the musical theater endeavors, vocal and instrumental direction and mentoring are offered by both our professional faculty and members of the community.
