Father Lacombe High School offers a 5-credit Musical Theatre elective, an integrated study in dance, drama, and vocal music, for students who are interested in making a serious commitment to electrifying performance.
This project and performance-based work will help students develop an appreciation and proficiency as singers, dancers, and actors, while introducing young performers to a wide range of theatrical experiences.
Through the progression of this course students will understand they are a part of a wider, inclusive community of performing artists in Calgary, and will work with some of the best-known performers in the city to develop their technical and performance skills.
