The drama program has a strong academic emphasis with students receiving experience to reinforce the course work through productions, large and small. The program, emphasizing process drama, gives students opportunities to develop competency as performers, audience members, historians, technicians, theorists, and teachers. The program offers various disciplines within dramatic and theatre arts: educational theatre, production, creative drama, and theatre management. Students can participate in the nationally known touring group - the Jack Tale Players - and audition for the Blue Ridge Dinner Theatre.
