Performing
It all begins in Lower School with our experiential approach to music and theater.
Our youngest students learn foundational concepts — rhythm, melody, expression, genre —through singing, dancing, and playing. Young actors develop through imaginative storytelling.
As children grow through the program, they are offered appropriate performing opportunities, including our signature Grandparents’ Day program. Guest artist presentations on campus reinforce classroom concepts.
As a bridge to Middle and Upper School programs, band and stringed instruments are introduced in Grade 5. Fourth and fifth grade students also present an age-appropriate musical each year.
Band, orchestra, choir, and theater courses are the foundation of the Middle and Upper School program. There are many opportunities for ensemble and solo performance. The department presents a full concert and production series and supports community projects like a student fashion show, Arts Walk, and community sing-along. Seniors may participate in a capstone film project.
The Performing Arts Program allows students to connect deeply with their humanity. Musicians, actors, and technicians alike find a place to call home. Our students practice creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving, supported by a world-class facility and exceptional teachers. There is a place for both the most advanced student and those trying something new for the first time. We welcome families and guests to step inside and experience this special community. Alicia Long
Head of Performing Arts Program

Guests will be transported to 1929 Germany in the Kit Kat Klub, where wry comedy and show-stopping musical numbers unfold against the backdrop of the coming Nazi storm. This performance is appropriate for high school and adult audiences only. The show will be performed in the intimate setting of Anne’s Black Box. Request up to two free tickets here. A waitlist will be maintained once the show sells out.
