Every Strawberry Elementary student participates in our Theater Program. The curriculum consists of an audition process, learning/memorizing scripts, staging, costuming, dancing, and a focus on bringing each character to life. In addition to performing, each cohort will assemble a set design crew who creates our backdrops and props.

Theater asks students to stand in front of people and be heard — a skill that transfers well beyond the stage. Our Strawberry Theater Program builds comfort with public speaking that many adults never develop. Playing a character also requires imagining someone else’s perspective, and the students who work on sets, props, and backdrops learn that a production also depends on people who don’t top the playbill.
