Welcome to the Fine Arts Department
Theater
Theater at Essex High School offers a safe sanctuary for students to explore artistic expression on or off stage. There are numerous opportunities to participate, with four mainstage performances after school and smaller Black Box Theater performances throughout the year.
Essex High School is a charter member of the International Theater Society, an honor’s society recognizing excellence in theater. Please check out their website if you are interested in applying to the society. http://www.edta.org/
Essex High School has participated in the Vermont One-Act Theater Festival sponsored by the Vermont Drama Council for the past two years, winning regional competitions both years. Participation in the state competition was highly exciting for Essex students and staff. If you would like to participate in the festival, please audition for the one-act play January 14th or volunteer to help with our fantastic tech crews.
Theater at Essex is growing, and is excited for the future. The creation of the new Black Box Theater offers a state of the art film screening room, a performance space, and wonderful theater classroom space. The theater Boosters is a thriving group that helps support our productions and the aspiring theater students. The theater is expanding their television and film departments, offering internships at RETN and working with the practical arts department to foster filmmaking in the school.
