Performing

At SCS, we are committed to offering a high quality theatrical experience to our school family and community, while exposing our students to a professional thespian experience.  Drama at SCS is a group effort – through the years, our chorus, band, and art departments have made tremendous contributions, allowing us to produce theatre with a high standard of professionalism.  The program has grown from a handful of talented students to often casting upwards of 100 young people and adults in our yearly musical, from both the upper school and the lower school.  

Each year, the SCS Drama Department produces a fall theatre production and a spring musical.  Since 2003, the program has produced 29 shows, from audience favorites like Phantom of the Opera and The Little Mermaid to unique shows like Play On! and Harvey.

“Someday they’ll be a better surgeon because of what they’re doing right now...or a better teacher or carpenter or systems analyst... Or who knows, maybe an actress or actor…  Whatever these young people choose to do with their life, they’ll be better prepared for it because of the theatre work they’re doing in high school.  Theatre in our schools is more than an exploration of cherished cultural treasures.  Educational theatre instills discipline, hones group skills, and exposes young students to the rigors of work under pressure and the rewards of committed, goal-oriented effort.  It teaches communication skills that will last a lifetime.”
