Welcome to the Dorman Theatre Department

Our Mission

While providing a challenging, nurturing, and safe environment, the Dorman Theatre Department encourages professionally-minded students with a strong aptitude for the theatrical arts who are ready to pursue a college or career path in the industry.

Our Vision

We envision a theatre department where:

• The focus is on the collaborative process of theatre.
• Students feel safe, valued, and respected.
• Theatrical opportunities and facilities are designed to maximize student learning.
• Students are provided opportunities beyond the classroom to grow and develop as actors and technicians.
• All students graduate with an appreciation for theatre and fine arts.
• Parents and community are engaged as partners in the production process. 

Thespians speak with more confidence than their non-actor counterparts, present themselves with more poise, measure a two-by-four with more accuracy, and always start a cross on their upstage foot. Students involved in the DTD distinguish themselves offstage too, being good citizens and excellent representatives of the theatre department.
