Theatre
—

On the Harpeth Hall stage, girls find their voice and share their stories. 

Through the performing arts, girls discover their passion for the arts, develop creativity and confidence, achieve excellence, and make lifelong friends. In the theatre program, students can act and sing in many dramatic, musical, and comedy productions, and participate behind the scenes – from lighting and sound to set building and stage management.

In the middle school, creative expression is a wonderful way to build self-confidence. Theatre and speech courses give students the opportunity to explore basic communication and presentation skills. Classes are designed to allow students to practice self-expression in a space where they feel challenged, yet safe and encouraged. 

In the upper school, students further their studies through courses in acting, improvised theatre, and directing. Outside of the classroom, The Harpeth Hall Playmakers club gives students the opportunity to perform on stage or in creative technical capacities.

"I love theatre because I get to experience a new perspective. I get to experience someone else's thoughts, feelings, and emotions and see the world through their eyes.  I also love being a part of the theatre community because everyone cares so much about one another. No one is afraid to be their true selves, so we can laugh and have fun together, but are also always there for each other."
