Senior School Theatre

The Senior School is proud to have a robust theatre program that offers students a variety of experiences both on the stage and behind the scenes. We strive to promote creativity, collaboration and imagination in all of our students, and our courses and extracurricular offerings allow students to grow in their theatrical pursuits.

Students can get firsthand performance experience through more traditional theatrical and dramatic staged shows. We also offer a course in directing and script development, for Senior School students to hone their creativity and leadership skills in a unique way.

For those students wanting even more opportunities to participate in theatre at a high level, our annual Senior School musical is one of the highlights of the school year. We present a full-length Broadway production that is completely run by our students. More than 100 students come together every year as actors, singers, dancers, musicians and stage crew to put on a massive show at the McPherson in downtown Victoria.
