Drama
The goal of the drama program at Greensboro Day School is to foster students’ individual creative expression and communication skills through working in an ensemble setting.
Through the drama program, students will learn the fundamental skills of performance and technical theatre and will also find opportunities to develop self-esteem, time management, goal setting, and critical listening skills.
Drama in the Curriculum
- In middle school drama classes, students learn the fundamentals of staging, acting, and technical production.
- The Upper School offers classes in Acting and Technical Theatre.

Drama Productions
- Lower school drama is available to students in grades 1–4 through After School Enrichment. This program concentrates on creative dramatics, storytelling, music, and dance.
- The Middle School stages a musical production each year.
- The Upper School stages one musical and one dramatic production each year.

Drama students have access to two state-of-the-art facilities located in the Davison Center for the Arts. The Sloan Theatre is a 600-seat proscenium theatre equipped with advanced lighting and sound technology, a counterweight fly system, and an orchestra pit used for upper school musical productions. The Bell Family Studio Theatre, a flexible black box space, supports smaller productions, acting classes, scene work, and choreography rehearsals. Students involved in technical theatre gain hands-on experience in all aspects of production, including lighting and sound design, set construction, and stage management.
