Theater
The first objective of the theater experience is to train fine communication skills. No other experience better instills self-confidence and self-esteem than presenting oneself well in front of an audience and receiving deserved praise. Therefore, every student in kindergarten through eighth grade participates in a well-rehearsed, finely tuned, annual class play. Directors train students in the effective use of voice, face, and body to project in an energetic fashion. These skills, and the increase in self-confidence, are invaluable lifelong assets.
The second objective of the theater program is to provide a venue for some students to excel outside of the academic or athletic arena. The goal is that every student has a place in which to feel a sense of accomplishment and success.
In high school, the theater experience becomes an elective. Participation in the program remains high; many of the students who advance from Pinewood’s Middle Campus continue to perform. Additional non-acting opportunities, such as stage or production related activities, become available at the high school level.
