Theatre Program

The Theatre Program is a very vibrant part of the Kennedy community.  More than one quarter of the student body participates in a theatrical production each year.  Students interested in the dramatic arts can join the Drama Club and become a cast or crew member of the Fall Play or the Spring Musical.Whether is is performing on stage, running the sound board or managing a backstage crew, Kennedy offers exciting opportunities in the dramatic arts!
