Drama

The drama program incorporates performance with history and design elements at all levels. 

Prekindergarten students learn literature and dramatic arts by performing a familiar fairy tale, complete with costumes, props and sound effects.  In the first half of the school year, students in kindergarten through grade 2 present a musical at the Dollinger Center for the Arts.  Grades 3 and 4 perform a spring musical.  Throughout the year, these budding thespians may take to the stage in grade-level performances, talent shows, and even historical re-enactments as gentry from colonial America.

Middle and upper school students have expanded opportunities with electives in performing arts, technical theater, and theater history.  There are typically three drama performances with these students as primary cast and crew:  a middle school production, an upper school production and an all-school show (usually a musical) to build community.  Auditions for the all-school production are open to all students, parents, faculty and alumni.  Past all-school productions have included Bye Bye Birdie and The Pirates of Penzance.

Canterbury also has an active chapter of the International Thespian Society, an honor society for the performing arts. Troupe 4637 participates in workshops as well as district, state and national competitions. Canterbury’s 2009-2010 Thespian and Junior Thespian troupes received 19 Superior ratings, 12 Excellent ratings, 4 Critic’s Choice awards and 2 college scholarships in district and state competitions.

Alumni who participated in theater have gone on to careers ranging from broadcast journalism to Broadway productions.
