The dramatic activities at Heritage School fulfill the students’ love for acting in high quality, worthy productions as well as enhancing the rhetoric skills we seek to build as part of our mission. Students often participate in informal skits and presentations within classes as well as presentations in Chapel and the high school students present a play each year.
Shakespeare Festival
The Shakespeare Festival for the Grammar school inspires and excites all young students. Each class in grades 3-6 prepares for this event by studying in class and then performing for the K-2 “groundlings” and parents. The 3rd grade studies Shakespeare’s life and times, the theater, and the Bard’s contribution to language. The 4th graders study A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the 5th graders, Twelfth Night, and the 6th graders, The Tempest. At the close of the presentations, the students often invite parents to watch as they learn how to do dancing from the Elizabethan period.
The Play’s the thing…
Upper school students anticipate the annual play with great eagerness. Students audition for the play each year. Productions have included A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Miracle Worker, Little Women, Taming of the Shrew, Pride & Prejudice, Tartuffe, and Harvey.
