Theater

Upper Elementary School

All students in our upper elementary division have the opportunity to participate in drama presentations during our chapel services. Fourth grade students can volunteer to join the Fourth Grade Drama Team. This team, guided by a drama coach, focuses on learning the art of drama and performance. Team members practice their dramatic and theatrical skills to prepare for a performance in front of the student body. They study a passage from the Bible, memorize a script based on that passage, and then bring the Bible story to life during chapel. Our upper elementary chorus students enjoy performing a musical each spring to showcase their talents. Additionally, we often offer extra opportunities for students to explore theatrical, dramatic, or dance skills through after-school programs.
 

High School

The theater program at Eastern Christian High School is primarily extra-curricular. Rehearsals all take place outside the school day. The school produces and performs two shows a year (one in November and one in March). Shows that have been presented in the recent past included Little Mermaid, Number the Stars, Seussical, Drowsy Chaperone, Guys and Dolls, The Diary of Anne Frank, Clue, and Annie. Auditions for on stage roles are open to all students. The production elements of the shows are also student based. Students participate as members of the stage crew, construction crew, technical crew, and pit orchestra.
