Dramatic Arts Department

Dramatic Arts at Abbey Park

At Abbey Park, we offer Dramatic Arts courses in all four grades, with a continuum that builds on the skills from the previous year.  

Students who take Drama gain transferable skills that help them in other courses (presentation skills, collaboration) and later for employability (interviews, group dynamics, project design & completion). In fact, studies have shown that Theatre/Drama graduates prevail in a number of business related careers and become assets to their companies because of their interpersonal and intrapersonal skills.

In addition, we have had many Abbey Park graduates who go on to various professional Theatre-related careers, and often come back to visit, coach, adjudicate or do workshops with our students.

APHS Drama courses also offer wonderful opportunities to attend theatre productions on class field trips. Our extra-curricular life in the Abbey Park theatre is so much fun! Join our Fall Production as Cast or Crew or create a dramatic piece for our Arts Gala in the Spring. We look forward to making wonderful memories with you!
