THEATRE
Theatre Arts at ISD provides exciting opportunities for students to learn and develop through collaboratively creating, playing, improvising, and performing.
Our students really do experience the full theatrical gamut: professional sound and lights, original set designs, exquisite costumes lovingly sewn by parent volunteers. From theatre of antiquity, to Shakespeare, Brecht, and Broadway musicals, no production is too ambitious for our dedicated team of students, teachers, and parent volunteers.
In addition to offering a full IB Theatre Arts curriculum within the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the IB Diploma Programme (DP), we also produce four large-scale productions each school year; two middle school performances and two upper school performances.
We have two theatre spaces on our senior campus. The main stage (the Dahms theatre) seats 350, and our small, black box theatre offers flexible seating and staging options for more intimate productions.
Anyone who has sat in the audience at an ISD theatre production will understand the passion, artistry, and commitment that drives this programme.
