Theater

Theater at GFA is a space for building confidence, taking risks, and encouraging self-expression. Beginning in Middle School, students are introduced to theater through semester-long classes in sixth and seventh grades. In these classes, every student learns skills such as improvisation, scene work, and theater games. Students in all grades have the opportunity to participate in both a fall one-act play and the middle school musical in the winter.

In Upper School, students deepen their understanding of theater as both performers and creators. Coursework and productions introduce a range of styles, from Ancient Greek theater and absurdism to improvisation and devised theater. Those interested can explore set and lighting design, direction, playwriting and the history of American Broadway. With two major productions each year and additional opportunities for student-directed work, theater at GFA encourages students to take creative ownership, collaborate meaningfully, and use the stage to explore compelling ideas and perspectives.
