​OPRFHS' theatre program offers students both a curricular (classroom-based), and extra-curricular avenue of study. Both give students in-depth and hands-on experience in the dramatic arts that emphasizes educational theatre, but also keeps students well-prepared should they choose to continue their theatre studies after graduation.

​

In addition to the curricular offerings which satisfy the school's fine arts graduation requirement, the Department also sponsors the Drama Club as well as offering a wide variety of other extra-curricular activities for students interested in exploring the world of theatre and speech arts, including Stage Crew and an award-winning Speech Team.

Performance experiences abound with broad opportunities for students to act, direct, design and create in three separate performance spaces.

​

For more information about any of these programs, contact Michele Bayer, Theatre/Broadcasting Department Chair.
