Testimonials
The theatre program at WCHS gave me an environment where I felt comfortable in experimenting. The curriculum and the director, Callie Johnson, encourages students to try on a number of hats from actor, designer, playwright, dramaturg, financier, to director. The theatre program is very inclusive, accepting students with different levels of experience and exposure to theatre. I believe that the theatre program is what makes the WCHS community unlike any other. — Eunice Lee (Class of ‘22)
I earned foundational skills from the WCHS Theatre program that have built up and enhanced my abilities not only as a performer and artist, but also as a human being. I learned a lot about myself and how I can interact with other people in the world through my experience in theatre. This program allowed me to grow in my collaborative skills, and I felt supported as I learned how best to creatively problem solve and work together with my peers. I also felt I got a very well-rounded, foundational knowledge of theatre. Even in the first few weeks of studying drama in college, I have felt confident in my knowledge of theatre, established by the education I earned in the WCHS Theatre department. — Lara Verret (Class of ‘22)
