Theatre Arts

In the Foundation Academy Drama Program, we aim to provide a safe, Christian environment for the students to use their talents to glorify God. In a world full of darkness, God calls us to use the gifts he’s given us to be a light. “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify our Father in heaven.” (Matt. 5:16)

Lower School (K-6)

The elementary drama program at Foundation Academy is open to any 2-6 grade student that loves to sing, dance, act, and move. Auditions are in the fall and spring and there are usually between 50-60 students involved in each production. Elementary drama performs a Christmas musical in December and a spring musical in April. There is a strong focus on choral singing as well as acting. This is an after school activity that practices 2-3 times a week.

Upper School (7-12)

Drama classes are offered for Middle and High School as electives. Two major productions are done each year. The productions can range from musicals to studio theater productions. Students can join the Thespian International Society and compete with other drama programs in the area.

Some of the past productions include The Diary of Anne Frank, Disney’s The Little Mermaid, You Can’t Take It with You, Disney’s High School Musical Jr, The Glass Menagerie, Cages, Godspell, The Importance of Being Ernest, The Two Sides of Darkness, The Wizard of Oz and Seussical the Musical. A summer program is offered for aspiring thespians to sharpen their acting skills.
