Theater & Drama
Here at Shiloh we nurture the gifts God has given us, offering drama classes and a full production musical or play each spring. Our classes include studies in pantomime, storytelling, character development, skits for chapel, improvisation, and the study of several classic plays from Tartuffe to Antigone. We work on monologues and duets, as well as ensemble skits. We also feature the development and presentation of a lip sync performance each semester which includes costumes and choreography.
The all-school play is presented in the spring, and any secondary student is eligible to try out. We have performed Bye, Bye Birdie, My Fair Lady and Hello Dollie to rave reviews and enthusiastic audiences. Our play productions have included Happy Daze, Pillow Talk, and many others, including this years offering of Girl Crazy.
