Arts
At the heart of Marlborough's Fine Arts program is the goal that students develop both an understanding of the creative process and a lifelong appreciation of the arts. Drama offerings range from open audition productions (an all-School and a Middle School performance) to student-directed work produced by the Drama Ensemble. The Winter Choral concert showcases the work of music classes, the Chamber Choir, and the Faculty Chorus. Instrumental Ensemble groups perform in a spring recital. Professional and student choreography is featured in the annual "Evening of Dance." Art exhibitions change monthly in the Disney Gallery and feature the work of both student and guest artists. Each year the Gallery hosts the Annual Invitational Show which includes art work from Los Angeles area schools. In addition to these larger venues, student work can be seen and enjoyed at lunchtime concerts, the "Evening of Scenes," and School assemblies. Several clubs offer opportunities to participate in the arts outside of the classroom experience as well.
Students have the opportunity to participate in arts activities, as a performer or observer, on a weekly basis.
