Performance Arts
More Than Just a Performance
Our vibrant Performing Arts program takes students on a journey of artistic exploration, from the first tentative steps on stage in Early Childhood to the dazzling lights of full productions and musical performances in Lower, Middle, and High School.
We foster foundational skills in drama and music through engaging activities like theatrical storytelling and story dictation. As students progress, they delve deeper into acting, directing, scriptwriting, and set design, culminating in a variety of productions that showcase their blossoming talents. Annual plays and musicals become cherished highlights of the school calendar, uniting the entire community in celebrating student achievements.

At Lab, music isn't just an elective – it's a vibrant community where students of all experience levels can discover their musical voice. Our comprehensive program offers a variety of ensembles, including band, orchestra, and choir, catering to diverse musical interests and fostering a love of music that lasts a lifetime.

Theatre is a powerful tool for personal growth, self-discovery, and building community. Whether you're seeking the thrill of the spotlight or a transformative learning experience, our program offers a space to explore, create, and shine. Lab’s innovative Theatre Program isn't just about putting on plays – it's about igniting a passion for storytelling, cultivating creativity, and empowering students to find their voice.
