Theatre Arts

Three female and two mail high school students on the set of a play. They are all standing and leaning on each other with plastic cups held up to their left ear in order to hear through the wall.

Orcutt Academy High School Theatre Arts is made up of high school students who want to explore the theatre arts in a project-based environment. 

In all theatre courses, students apply, develop, and hone the skills of the stage while also learning and applying skills necessary for effective group membership.

The classes provide a stimulating yet safe environment to conquer fears, take risks, and step outside one’s comfort zone to create, analyze, and participate in art and entertainment.
