Theatre
The theatre arts program is a vital part of the Fine and Performing Arts Department at FRA. All of our students - from our youngest pre-kindergarteners to our seniors - have at least one opportunity to take the stage for a theatrical performance. Lower school performances include the first and second grade Christmas musical, fourth grade variety show, and the spring musical. Students in the middle school participate in the spring musical, while upper school students perform in a fall musical and spring drama.
