Theatre
The Berkeley theatre program encourages students to develop as creative, confident, and proficient performers. Our comprehensive curriculum is designed to cater to both the casual and serious student of theatre. Take a closer look below at the wide variety of theatre classes and clubs that are offered to students in all three divisions (from second through twelfth grade).
Each year, the Upper Division fall play and spring musical are submitted for the Broadway Star of the Future adjudication process. Our 2023-2024 performances were once again honored with multiple awards. Click here to learn more.
