Our goal is simple: To be one of the top theatre training programs of its kind in the Southeast.
We carefully tailor our seasons to give the best and unique opportunities for our students. We also have a Drama Club which produces its own works and does fundraising projects for both the community and for theatre program activities. We regularly produce new works; both professional and student-written. We have had the honor to produce the world premieres of Don Nigro's, Widdershins and Lisa Sol

Announcing our upcoming Fall 2025 Production...
Bus Stop by William Inge
Directed by Tony Cedeño
November 7-8, and 13-14 at 7:30 pm
November 9 and 16 at 2:00 pm
In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and four or five weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. Cherie, a nightclub chanteuse, is the passenger with most to worry about. She’s been pursued, made love to and finally kidnapped by a twenty-one-year-old cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of an unusually headstrong bull. The belligerent cowhand is right behind her, ready to sling her over his shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking, all the way to Montana.
Even as she’s ducking out from under his clumsy but confident embraces, and screeching at him fiercely to shut him up, she pauses to furrow her forehead and muse, “Somehow deep inside of me I got a funny feeling I’m gonna end up in Montana.” As a counterpoint to the main romance, the proprietor of the cafe and the bus driver at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the cafe also gets her first taste of romance.
