Mission Statement
We believe that theatre offers a unique human experience that bridges both cultural and generational lines. It brings people together to learn, perform, observe and enjoy. A strong theatre program that produces multiple shows a year can offer a plethora of educational opportunities to students as well as outlets for performance and creativity. It is our goal to create a community where students can feel safe and accepted while exploring their interests and learning about all facets of drama, from acting and directing, to lighting and sound, to marketing and publicity. 

“Often underfunded in the past, the arts are gaining a resurgence in support as research shows benefits for children academically, along with improvements in behavior and attendance.” - Public School Review (December 2020)

Future Goals:
- Create Bearcat Theatre Booster Club
- Create an International Thespian Society Chapter 
- Field Trip/Workshop opportunities as they arise ​
- Hold School-wide Talent Shows & Competitions
