The stage is a mirror where we see ourselves reflected.
Our performing arts program believes that every child has a story to tell. Through theater, music, and movement, students develop public speaking skills, emotional intelligence, and the confidence to express themselves authentically.
From our youngest performers in Pre-K to our middle school thespians, each student experiences the transformative power of live performance - and the unbreakable bonds formed with fellow cast members.
The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.
Our Students Design the Magic
At Crestwell, performing arts extends far beyond the spotlight. Our students are the creative force behind every production - designing and building the sets, creating props, and bringing their artistic vision to life on stage.
This hands-on approach teaches collaboration, problem-solving, and gives every student ownership of the final performance, whether they're on stage or behind the scenes.
