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.

A Christmas Carol

Performance Dates: November 14 and 15
 

Start the holiday season with tickets to A Christmas Carol!
 
This classic tells the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and the four spirits whose visits liberate him from his miserly ways. Staged by our Middle School division, curtains are Friday and Saturday, Nov. 14 and 15, at 6:30 p.m. in the Croxton Family Theater at our Christwood Boulevard Campus.
 
Directed by Peggy Aultman, A Christmas Carol will introduce us to the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, as well as the ghost of Scrooge’s deceased partner, Jacob Marley, as they walk Scrooge through scenes from his life. Scrooge will encounter moments of joy he missed; the suffering of the poor, including his employee, Bob Cratchit, and Cratchit’s son, Tiny Tim; and a grim look at what his own death is destined to look like. These visits have a profound effect on Scrooge, ultimately lending happiness and cheer to what otherwise would have been a dismal Christmas Day.
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.
