Austin Middle School Theatre Arts

Austin’s Theatre program offers students three levels of training throughout their middle school careers.  Beginners are introduced to the basics of mime, voice and diction, improvisation, and rehearsal processes.  As Intermediate students, young actors focus on using movement, vocal variety, and imagination to explore characterization as they hone their performance skills.  When students finally arrive in the Advanced class, they use their previous training and experience to try their hands at script selection, plot analysis, and principles of directing. All three levels culminate each semester with a one-act performance that showcases the many talents they have developed in class.
