Learning the Art
In Woodberry's Drama Department you will learn to appreciate language and storytelling while mastering the ability to speak in front of large groups. You will work as a member of a team and complete large artistic projects. With guidance from our drama department, boys will learn to value aesthetic experiences and understand themselves and their world in a more sophisticated way. Whether an actor, writer, director, technician, or designer, you will cultivate your passion at Woodberry. Click here to view drama and speech courses.
Lights, Curtains, Action!
In addition to the two plays and one musical on the mainstage each year, the Bomb Shelter Experimental Theater, otherwise known as the Black Box, holds at least two smaller productions each year. This small theater is the perfect setting for one-act plays or plays written and directed by boys at our college prep boarding school. You will have opportunities to participate in a production that you and other students manage, with some assistance from a faculty member.
