Calling our teenage theatre enthusiasts! Senior stage is a spring term skills and learning class. This workshop style class invites experts from all different fields to lecture and facilitate hands-on demonstrations and activities in all aspects of theatre.
Senior Stage offers an array of weekly workshops in Dance stylings, Theatre Technology, Acting history and textwork, Costuming and Makeup, and more! This class is about exploring all the branches of theatre as a craft beyond just performance
During CSOPA’s annual Spring Festival, Senior Stage students will work backstage enabling other classes in the school to show off their amazing shows. Students are given the opportunity for hands-on learning of sound and lighting, moving sets, props, headsets, and makeup and costumes. We believe that understanding all the time and effort that happens behind the curtain is vital to cultivating a deeper respect for all aspects of theatre as an art.
