Northridge Middle School
The theater program at the Middle School offers two different aspects of theater - competition, and performance. For further information click on the following link. If you have further questions, contact one of the directors.
Northridge High School
The theater program at the High School is similar to that of the Middle School except there is an additional performance. High School theater students present a fall play (drama or comedy without music), compete at Regional Competitions in November, and perform a full-length musical in May. Students must consider conflicts for each of these as we expect all cast members to attend all rehearsals. Typical conflicts are as follows:
Fall play conflicts with Marching Band and Fall sports
Competition has a later rehearsal time so we can work with most sports/activities
Spring musical conflicts with Spring Sports
We work closely with the choral department for all these performances, so show choir and theater work together. However, doing both of these presents a very busy schedule.Â
If you have questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact one of the directors!
Kids Take the Stage - Summer Theater Camp
Each summer we offer a one or two-week (depending on the grade) theater camp for our elementary students. This camp is for students in grades K-6 (the next school year). These camps are organized and supervised by the two directors, but classes are taught by our high school students.
Students in grades K-3 attend a 4-day camp where they learn the basics of theater through playing games and working with the teachers in the classrooms. At the end of the 4 days, each grade level group presents a short play they have been working on during the week. These are presented on Thursday starting at 11:00 in the High School Auditorium. All parents, family, and friends are invited to attend. No admission. Pictures and videos are allowed and expected. The cost is $35/student.
Students in grades 4-6 attend an 8-day camp where they learn and practice the basics of theater. During these days students audition and receive roles in a musical production, which is then performed at the end of the second week on Thursday at 7:00 in the High School Auditorium. All parents, family, and friends are invited to attend. No admission. Pictures and videos are allowed and expected. The cost is $60/student.Â
Applications for both of these camps are sent home with students shortly after spring break. Watch for them in your student's papers.
