Theatre

The theatre program at Wheaton Academy has a long rich tradition of excellence. For over 30 years, students have been given a comprehensive education in both traditional and contemporary theory, comedic improvisation, musical theatre, and performance technique. Offering three productions a year as well as a variety of classes, the theatre program is committed to high standards and compelling storytelling.

Singing in the Rain

It is once again SPRING MUSICAL time, and this year the Academy Theatre is proud to present the Broadway musical Singin’ in the Rain. 
Singin' in the Rain is one of the most well known and loved musicals of all time because of the catchy songs, meticulous tap-dancing, dramatic films, and of course, the rain.  Set in Hollywood in 1927, the story shows how silent film stars made the transition to talking pictures. The performances are February 26 and 27 and March 4, 5, and 6.  All shows begin at 7:00 p.m. and dessert is served at intermission.
