Bryn Mawr Drama
From mythology to mask making, improvisation to imagination, pantomime to production, drama at Bryn Mawr offers education in the classics as well as opportunities to create original works for the stage.
Middle School
The study of drama begins in earnest in the Middle School as students are introduced to the skills of performance and presentation. Creative dramatics, the art of pantomime, and physical theatrical techniques build confidence and strength for performance, while ensemble and improvisation skills are honed through the exploration of folktales and myths. Drama in the Middle School includes productions open to each grade level.
Upper School
Drama thrives in the Upper School with courses in acting and filmmaking. In partnership with Gilman School, major productions are mounted each year. While acting technique is developed and refined through performance, the experience of a play production allows students to participate in other areas of theater such as technical and stage crew, lighting and set design.
