What is Ensemble Production?

Ensemble Production is an elite curriculum that serves to create original works and prepare for theatrical competition. Students can only take Ensemble Production by audition or recommendation only. Unlike Theatre III/IV, Ensemble Production serves as in class rehearsal, directing and productions, filmmaking, and UIL preparation. In these classes, we learn about:
