Theatre

Allen Theatre offers students opportunities in all aspects of theatre performance and production.  Our small class sizes provide individual instruction and guidance for each student. We produce four shows a year including musicals, drama, comedy, and student-directed one-act plays.  Our Drama Club participates in community outreach activities and theatre excursions and we host an improvisation night each semester.  We also participate in the Irene Ryan acting competition each year at the American College Theater Festival.  In June we also sponsor the Allen Summer Youth Theatre program, producing a show involving students ages 13-21.
