Theatre Arts

Welcome to the award-winning Lion Theatre Company.  Students participating in Beginning Theatre will learn about basic acting and stage skills, culminating in an end-of-year performance of one of our class projects to the community or family and friends in attendance.  Advanced Theatre students produce our traveling contest productions, build on their acting and stage skills, as well as produce an end-of-year production for the community.
