Theatre at West Boylston Middle High School has been thriving for over two decades.

As part of the curriculum, students take Exploration in Drama in 6th, 7th and 8th grade. In high school, students have the opportunity to take both Drama Workshop and Performing Arts Workshop, both that culminate in dramatic and musical performances, respectively. Post-pandemic, the theatre program at West Boylston has continued to grow, with the addition of a Technical Theatre Foundations class added to the curriculum inn 2021 and the addition of Film Acting/Production in 2022. In 2024, we also added a Musical Theatre class to teach singing and dancing fundamentals. 

In addition to classes, students have the opportunity to act in fall play productions as an extra-curricular activity as well earn points to become a part of West Boylston's chapter of the International Thespian Society: Troupe 6514. The International Thespian Society students take part in several drama-related activities throughout the year including the annual Massachusetts Thespian Festival and our own Improv Night - which debuted in 2019 and was an instant hit. Last year, we also introduced a Masked Singer - Teacher Edition competition which we hope to repeat again. 

For the 2025 - 2026 school year,  our performance opportunities for high school students will include our fall production of This Murder Was Staged and our spring musical (TBD) in May 2026. 

Our middle school drama club will produce a one-act comedy called Kitchen Catastrophes in December and a spring musical (TBD) in April 2026. 

We thank you for your continued support of our program.
