Thank you for your interest in the Theatre Program here at Fort Settlement Middle School! We have developed a system which allows students to experience theatre in unique ways. Our hope is that if a student is drawn to these disciplines, they will not only be introduced to the subjects, but also have opportunities which will better prepare them for excellence in theatre as well as daily communication when they graduate from middle school.
