Elly award winners Spencer Fitzpatrick ’20 and Jacob Cherry ’18 in Hamlet, winner of the 2018 Elly award for Best Overall Production – Play
In addition to enriching theatre courses, CB is exceedingly proud of its Elly award-winning theatre productions. The student-driven “Tech Factor” crew runs lighting, sound, builds sets and manages the show behind the scenes. The annual CB Theatre Showcase consists of scenes, songs, and a one act play written, directed and performed by students in the beautiful George Cunningham ’40 Performing Arts Center. Open Mic nights are held several times throughout the year showcasing a wide variety of student talent. Driven, theatre-focused students have the opportunity to attend the Lenaea High School Theatre Festival at the Harris Center each year where they, along with students from high schools across California, perform, receive feedback from and attend workshops with theatre professionals. Auditions for the productions are open to all students.
The Theatre Arts department offers Theatre Arts, Acting Focus, and Honors Acting Focus, classes.
