About Us
Five years after Campus opened its doors, Thespian Troupe #573 was chartered on November 5, 1965, under the direction of Mark Deer. Since that time, Campus has had only twelve more theatre directors, but has produced over 175 plays and musicals. Our troupe now has an improv team that performs before each Mane Stage performance and a tech team that supplies light and sound for all events held in the theatre, including meetings, concerts, and in-service.
Campus Theatre has consistently remained an important and vital fine arts force at Campus High School. The program invites students to work collaboratively, develop critical thinking and public speaking skills, and engage in creative dialogues. An array of courses are taught with the intention of providing enrichment for students interested in these skills all of which encompass dramatic arts. Numerous students have gone on to pursue advanced studies in theater/cinema, technical theater, stage management, and lighting design.
The department is a student-centered community that emphasizes the process of artistic teamwork and instills a disciplined work ethic. By practicing professionalism, collaboration and emphasizing individual development, we will continue to bring to the stage high quality theater productions.
