ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
WHO WE ARE
The Alexandria Senior High Theatre Department is a vibrant community where creativity, collaboration, and inclusivity take center stage. Our program is a diverse and safe space for all students to explore their voices, build confidence, and express themselves through the art of performance. We are dedicated to raising the bar for what high school theatre can achieve—both on stage and behind the scenes. Through passion, hard work, and imagination, our students bring powerful stories to life while learning the value of empathy, teamwork, and artistic excellence. At ASH Theatre, every student has a place to shine, grow, and belong.
OUR JOURNEY & ACHIEVEMENTS
In recent years, the ASH Theatre Department has experienced an incredible renaissance. Our beautifully renovated auditorium reopened in 2023, featuring state-of-the-art lighting, sound, and presentation technology that elevates every performance to a professional level. Our Thespian Troupe #731 has earned national recognition — performing The Color Purple on the MainStage at the International Thespian Festival (2023) and contributing to the collaborative SIX opening number in 2025. We are also honored to be among the ten schools selected to pilot the high school edition of Suffs through the “The Young Are at the Gates” grant, working alongside MTI, EdTA, and creator Shaina Taub. This milestone strengthens ASH Theatre’s reputation as a leader in high school performing arts innovation.
