Middle School students may participate in Theater Arts as an elective. This program includes students participating in the Christmas program as well as the opportunity to audition for and participate in the spring musical. Students receive hands-on experience of the theater from stage direction to rehearsal and line memorization. This is where students are encouraged to find their love of the theater, whether performance or production. Grace students have had the chance to perform musicals such as Godspell, Jr., Annie, Jr., and Beauty and the Beast, Jr.

This year’s Spring Musical is … Newsies!
The script was written by Ms. Barbara Lasater, Theater Arts teacher, and is an adaption of the Disney film, Newsies.
Newsies is based on the true story of the Newsboys Strike of 1899 in New York City. At the turn of the century, street urchins that sold newspapers (called “newsies”) banded together and went on strike, refusing to sell papers after William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer raised prices.
