The West Orange High School Theater Arts Program invites students to explore acting as both a deeply human experience and a refined technical craft. Through a progressive sequence of courses, students build self-confidence, creativity, collaboration skills, and a rich understanding of performance - on stage and on camera.

Our program helps students grow as artists and as people by emphasizing:

• Creative expression and intuition

• Technical acting training and stage skills

• Collaboration, ensemble building, and behind-the-scenes roles

• Real-world performance experiences in both theater and film

Courses are designed to build on one another, offering opportunities for students of all experience levels, from curious beginners to passionate performers.

Our high school also offers a Fall Play, Spring Musical, and Thespian Honor Society as co-curriculars. 

Each of our middle schools also offer Drama Club as a co-curricular; students in the club prepare a spring musical performance.
