Drama

All the world's a stage -- and so are classrooms, libraries, and gyms!  From dramatic play in Preschool to staging an annual musical in the Middle School, the performing arts permeate our program at The Catherine Cook School. Classroom and afterschool opportunities abound for Lower School students to extend their creativity through Readers Theatre, acting, puppetry, or improvisation. Storytelling and oratory are emphasized in Middle School "On Your Feet" classes so that students develop into confident public speakers, while Drama Club participants dig more deeply into professional scripts, character study, and stagecraft. Every grade and class has the opportunity to showcase a performance at a weekly all-school assembly.
