George School - Performing Arts

Performing Arts

The school has a very active performing arts program of long standing. Although it is not formally an "arts school," many of George School's most prominent alumni are performing artists.

Both student- and department-produced theater productions are performed in Walton Center on the main stage or the smaller green room stage. Productions range from conventional high school productions, such as Guys and Dolls to more controversial pieces such as the Laramie Project. George School's dance classes perform in the annual Dance Eclectic, a combination of student and faculty-created choreography. The George School Community Chorus includes a mixture of students and adults, and offers an annual winter concert. George School's Musical Theater course performs a musical in Walton Auditorium in the spring or winter term.

Famous quotes related to performing arts:

    More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic.
    Uta Hagen (b. 1919)
