Theatre

At St. Andrew's-Sewanee School the Theatre is a space for learning and for creating. Formal theatre courses focus on collaborative skills, scenework, types of performance and acting methods. Students throughout the school have the opportunity to audition for productions throughout the year. Most years, the School stages three major productions including one musical. In addition to performance, students may help with directing, scenery and costume design, music, and administrative functions related to the shows.

Through the Theatre program, students enjoy a creative outlet while honing lifelong skills of public speaking, teamwork and working under strict deadlines.

SAS Theatre productions in recent years have included: Fools, Footloose, Metamorphoses: A Play, Under the Gaslight, Into the Woods, The Fantasticks, The Music Man, Arsenic and Old Lace, The Imaginary Invalid, and a festival of one-act plays.

During the summers, the SAS Theatre has played host to original productions by the South Cumberland Cultural Society. SAS students frequently participate in these shows as both actors and tech crew.
