WRA thespians acquire an understanding of contemporary theater and knowledge of dramatic history. They develop both the sensory awareness necessary to convey moods and emotions, and the ability to apply energy, movement and concentration to their roles. Students of dramatic technology acquire the know-how to support every aspect of a dramatic performance, including the fundamentals of lighting, sound and set design.

Program & Facility Highlights

Each year, there are three opportunities to perform in a major school production: a musical, a drama and a comedy. Most recently, we performed The Laramie Project, Beauty & the Beast and The Real Inspector Hound.

Our 400-seat theater gives us flexible audience space, and our cast and crew are able to work on a 40-foot-wide proscenium stage, with an orchestra pit and a full height fly system with 20 line sets. Costume, prop and dressing rooms keep our productions running smoothly.
