Theater at MacDuffie
The goals of the theater department at MacDuffie are to acquaint students with theater history and terminology; to teach and improve performance skills, analytical skills and cooperative skills; and ultimately to help each student develop empathy for others.
"In our productions, we have students from grade 6 to 12...you get to know everybody in the community." - Cameron, '05 |
We offer basic and advanced acting classes in the Upper School and require theater class in seventh and eighth grade for all students. We employ improvisation techniques, self-scripting of scenes and text analysis of pre-scripted works. Acting Ensemble, an advanced course, allows students to perform productions at area schools, and study theater history, acting methods and styles.
We perform two main stage productions a year, usually a musical and a play. Seniors in Acting Ensemble (who have studied for three years) produce one act plays in the spring. Past productions include:
| Musicals The Boyfriend South Pacific Anything Goes Hello Dolly Pippin A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum Pajama Game Carnival Fiddler on the Roof Little Shop of Horrors |
"MY FAIR LADY" |
| Plays The Crucible The Mousetrap Twelfth Night, or What You Will Arsenic and Old Lace Harvey The Real Inspector Hound You Can’t Take It with You The Miracle Worker Diary of Ann Frank Miss Reardon Drinks a Little Design for Murder |
