Musical Theater
Ascension School runs a very active and a very unique Musical Theatre program. All students in Kindergarten through Fifth Grade, and all members of the Middle School Vocal Ensemble, participate in two "Broadway' style musicals as part of Ascension’s Spring Arts Evenings in May.
The students spend two months learning and memorizing a large selection of songs that are then fully staged and choreographed. The students also participate in making scenery, props and costumes for their performances.
The fully integrated songs and dances of each class are then performed with scenery, costumes and lights and accompanied by several professional musicians to standing room only crowds.
