Build Confidence
Participation in the SAAS Theater Program allows students to explore personal truths while building confidence performing in front of an audience.
Acting Classes & Productions
Theater is a graduation requirement for all SAAS students, offering experiences that build both artistic skill and personal confidence. The program emphasizes respect for the craft of acting—for performers, stage technicians, and audience members alike—while creating a safe space for students to take risks, explore stories, and grow as creative thinkers.
In the classroom, students practice everything from presenting written material to improvisation, developing skills that translate directly into problem-solving and public speaking across all academic subjects. Course offerings include Acting, Stage Combat, Improvisation, Sketch Comedy Writing, Mask, and Tech Theater, giving students a broad foundation in theater arts.
Explore Human Interaction and Expression
Classes, rehearsals, and performances teach young actors how to create characters and find motivations, celebrate the transformation of words into three dimensional creations, and encourage empathy through the exploration of human interaction and expression.
Enhance Presentation Skills
Ultimately, these lessons create additional scaffolding to enhance students’ presentation skills in all academic settings.
