In Advanced Art classes, students explore a range of advanced techniques, providing them with the opportunity to expand their creative expression and develop their individual artistic voices.

Drama class offers a solid foundation in acting and characterization, while also delving into the history and diverse forms of theatrical arts from the performer’s perspective.

In Stagecraft, students gain hands-on experience in all aspects of behind-the-scenes production. This includes building sets and props, as well as mastering the technical elements of lighting, sound, rigging, and costuming. Students should note that this course may require additional time outside of class to attend performances at Mascoutah High School and in the surrounding area, as well as to participate in rehearsals and production preparation.

In addition to producing the Fall Play and Spring Musical, the Drama Club organizes trips to attend performances across the St. Louis and Southern Illinois regions, enriching students’ understanding of theater through exposure to professional productions.
