Drama

Middle School

In our Middle School Drama program, students are introduced to the fundamentals of theatre and acting, and then have the opportunity to dive deeper into all aspects of theatre art and craft, including creating a character, the discipline of rehearsal and performance, designing and building sets/props/costumes, lighting and sound, and finally, bringing all those elements together into a public performance. This experience teaches students the importance of teamwork and collaboration and develops their confidence and creativity.

Upper School

Upper School drama students are given the opportunity to further experience the process theatre artists use to create meaningful theatrical experiences, incorporating multiple levels of learning through specialized courses including Stagecraft, Dramatic Play and Musical Production, and Acting. These experiences foster self-expression, teamwork, and a deep appreciation for the theatre arts.

Read about a UPrep alum on Broadway

When I first started in theatre, I found myself feeling reserved and embarrassed about my acting skills. But because of the people I was surrounded by, I learned to be more confident. My UPrep theatre experiences taught me it's always better to go 100 percent in on something rather than hold back." –Jack DiGiuseppe '25
