Inspiring Excellence: Mind, Body, and Spirit

Drama Program

The theatre program at Calvary Christian High School provides all students with a comprehensive theater and musical theater education based on a Christian worldview. Our drama program is extremely engaging, and students will not only improve their performance skills, they will gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of the theatrical arts.

About the Courses Offered

Drama 1 is designed to meet each student at their current experience level and increase their confidence and vocal/physical/emotional performance skills. Drama 2 is for students who wish to take their dramatic study further and includes audition technique, scene study, and college/professional level actor theory and training.

What Else is Involved?

Drama students perform at many events throughout the year, including a fall play, spring musical, the Celebration of the Arts, and solo/ensemble performances at the district and state competitions. Past CCHS drama students have gone on to receive scholarships to respected college theatre programs and perform in professional films, television shows, and local or regional theatrical productions. The drama program operates within the larger realm of the Fine Arts department and frequently collaborates, as well as shares students, with other programs such as the dance and choral programs.
