Our theater program touches the lives of all of our students at CCS! Acting builds confidence, creativity and character as students work together in a common goal and toward excellence in a production. Our elementary students also learn and grow in their acting abilities as they watch the middle and high school students perform in their productions. Elementary students perform a Christmas musical each year and sometimes may get an opportunity to perform a small role in the spring musical. Our middle and high school students perform a one act play in the fall and a Broadway-style spring musical.
Musical Theater
Musical Theater is one of the most popular Fine Arts classes at CCS! Students look forward to this 18 week class every year! Because CCS implements musical theater into the school day, the class is offered once a week for 18 weeks, beginning with our second quarter in October and running through the third quarter in March.
In musical theater, students learn how to work together and support each other as one big family, beginning with auditions in October. Students learn and grow in Jesus Christ through the audition process, supporting and blessing one another. The class also looks at how the Broadway musical reflects Biblical teaching, finding a theme to carry throughout each week. For example, when learning “Annie Jr.”, the theme was taken from Ephesians 1:5: “He predestined us to be adopted as sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will.”
Fall One Act
The Fall One Act is our exciting first performance of the year by our middle & high school students. It is a one act play that can vary in its genre from a mystery, comedy, drama or classic. The One Act is performed for the school and the CCS community in October. Students who choose to participate in the One Act also have the opportunity to perform in a regional competition with other local Christian schools.
