Cheyenne Mountain High School

Cheyenne Mtn. HS Drama has a long history of excellent Theatre Education & Productions. Students may take class in: Drama, Advanced Acting (entry through audition only), Theatrical Makeup, Improvisation, and Technical Theatre. Students in classes produce A NIGHT OF ONE ACTS in February for which Drama & Advanced Acting students perform and direct and Technical Theatre students design, build/create, and run crew.

All students may audition for school productions. A Fall Musical is produced every-other year in November and a Fall Play is produced on the "off" years of the musical. Often the Fall Musical is performed in the Lloyd Shaw Auditorium, which seats over 700 audience members. Fall Plays are performed in our intimate Black Box Theatre which, depending on the configuration of the set, seats between 100 - 135 audience members.  A Spring Play is performed in April in our Black Box Theatre. Drama students are encouraged to collaborate with Fine Art and Video Production students for such things as publicity (poster/program/merch design elements) and for aspects of the show that could benefit from video elements.

CMHS Drama Club hosts a Coffee House/Open Mic Night in January in the Black Box. All students are welcome to perform.  The Improvisation class performs Improv Night in the Black Box and develops the show as they see fit with short form, long-form, and sketch comedy.

Advanced Acting students perform in a Thespian Showcase in December before attending the Colorado State Thespian Convention. They write, direct, perform, and produce an end-of-the-year show, DON'T YELL FIRE IN A THEATRE! (30 plays in 60 minutes).
