Welcome to Walnut High School Theater Arts!
Walnut High School Theatre is a comprehensive standards based program that exposes students to all aspects of theatre and provides opportunities for students to pursue in-depth theatre studies in musical theatre, acting, directing, playwriting, improvisation, and theatrical design.
​
It is a program not only run FOR the students but also BY the students. Students have the opportunity to audition to perform in two main stage shows a year (Fall Play and Spring Musical) as well as other performance opportunities (showcases, improv nights, and cabarets).
​
Advanced Drama students participate and compete in theatre festivals during the year. Stagecraft students get hands on real world experience through workshops, after-school classes, and the ability to join the production crew as makeup, costume, and prop crew members. Whether they want to work towards admission to a college theatre program or just want to have fun while increasing their confidence and presentation skills, all students are welcome in the department.
