JPS Theatre Company

The JPS Theatre Company has become a renowned part of the school's Visual and Arts Departments by putting on high caliber theatrical productions year after year. With a straight play in the fall, a musical in the spring, as well as many other smaller productions year round, students not only get the chance to showcase their talents, but to make friends and memories that will last way beyond high school. For actors, it is encouraged that students take the Theatre Arts class in order to learn theatre history and basic acting skills that will develop their performance skills on stage. A student enrolled in the honors Theatre Arts class earns the chance to have separate auditions and rehearsals that take place in class for the main stage productions. However, everyone and anyone is welcome to join the company as an actor or a techie. For students who wish to be in on the technical side of the theatre, they will be trained by upperclassman during the preparation and run of the main stage productions in their chosen field of backstage work, such as lighting, sound, set design, costumes, art, and make-up, in order to one day be a technical leader of the theatre company themselves. Whether it’s on stage, back stage, or in class, students are sure to have a great time as a member of the JPS Theatre Company as well as be a part of amazing theatrical productions. Be sure to attend our beginning of the year and mid-year Open Theatre meetings to get all the information on becoming a company member!
