THEATER

 The CES theater program seeks to lay a foundation for multidisciplinary practice in theater and performing arts, and encourages and challenges our students through training and performance.  We offer multiple opportunities to participate as performers or as crew for our two major annual productions; the CES Playback Improvisational ensemble; the theater and performance class production; and our speech team.

Into the Woods

Performance Dates: March 21, 22, 23 and March 28, 29, 30

The Christ Episcopal School Theater Department presents Into the Woods, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine.
Everyone’s favorite storybook characters are brought together for a timeless and relevant piece, described by critics as a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching.
The story follows a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but is it worth the price paid?
Originally directed on Broadway by James Lapine with orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick.

Regardless of whether students wish to pursue studies in theater arts after upper school, the skills students develop in problem-solving, leadership, expressiveness, and teamwork are invaluable.

The theater and performance classes develop vocal and physical expressiveness, action-oriented acting technique, improvisation, mask character improvisation, acting classical text, musical theater, monologue, scene study, playwriting, and theater composition. The Theater Tech and Costuming courses complete the program.

Our students are the designers who build the sets, make the costumes, light the stage, and check the sound. Under the supervision of directors and faculty, the students are the leads in every aspect of our productions.

We are a charter member of the International Thespian Society Troupe 8387 and attend both state and national conferences, where students participate in workshops, present monologues, and meet with other theater enthusiasts from all over the country.
