Dramatic Arts

The art of storytelling… that’s what theater truly is. When you can create believable characters, place them in new worlds and give them situations and circumstances that create conflict, resolution and develop relationships… you’re telling a good story. There’s so much about live theater that we, as the audience, can enjoy. The lights, the scenery, the costumes and props, and watching our friends and loved ones put themselves into a new scenario, and maybe stretch themselves beyond their normal boundaries, and do it with excellence, that’s when theater truly comes alive!

Jesus understood the art of storytelling. So often he chose to teach a life principle by using a “parable” also known as… a STORY. He could help people relate to characters and situations by teaching through this means, and thereby communicate on a deeper level. He was a great story teller!

Legacy Christian Academy (and formerly Xenia Christian) has a rich history of telling great stories, and doing it with excellence. We are pleased to be able to take young men and women and grow them in their talents and abilities (some of whom never knew such abilities even existed within themselves!). We love to provide our school community with the opportunity to experience life through someone else’s eyes. We love to tell a great story!

The Sound of Music Auditions: December 3rd-4th

LCA's Dramatic Arts Department is happy to announce that our spring musical will be Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic, The Sound of Music!

Any student in grades 7-12 is invited to audition for the show. Junior high auditions will be on Tuesday, December 3rd and high school auditions will be on Wednesday, December 4th in the band room. Auditions will be held in one-hour slots between 3:15 and 9:15.

Students are required to memorize one of the songs from the provided packet for their audition. These packets can be picked up from Mrs. Fortier if they do not yet have one. They will also be asked to read lines from the script at the auditions (no memorization needed for this section).

Click here for the informational packet.

Any student who has not signed up who wants to participate should email kclark@legacyknights.org to reserve an audition slot.

Can my student in a younger grade audition for a role in the show?

Because of the huge amount of interest from students in grades 7-12, we have decided to only open auditions to these students for the first round. If we still have roles to cast after these initial auditions, we will invite specific ages of younger students to audition based on what we need. We will choose students for these roles based on skill/talent and teacher recommendations, as it is very important we work with younger students who are respectful and responsible.

Please email the theater director, Katie Clark, with any questions. kclark@legacyknights.org
