• THEATRE

    Welcome to the online home of CVPA's Theater Department. Our Theatre Department implements a sequential theatre arts curriculum that incorporates beginning to advanced techniques in acting, stage movement, vocal production and directing.  Students also have exciting electives to choose from like Audition and Resume, Musical Theatre and even Acting, Singing and Dance for Non-Majors. The curriculum requires a high level of commitment from students who train two to three hours each day, with after school rehearsals for the season productions. The program emphasizes individual growth and personal discovery, as well as an ensemble approach to acting. The faculty consists of working professional artists who share their expertise, experiences and passion for the art of theatre.  Recent studies show that the study of Theatre not only enhances a student’s ability to perform, but teaches a better understanding of the human condition as well. Theatre students learn to work in groups, how to focus and concentrate, and be educated about the importance of meeting deadlines.

    We also strive to instill in all of our students a love of theatre and to encourage them to be lifelong patrons of the arts.  Feel free to take a look at our website, learn about our faculty and view the many different performance classes we offer.
