CTE Dance and CTE Theatre
Program Overview
All Performing Arts courses require participation in all performances scheduled by the instructors. Some performances serve as Final Exams. Students who do not participate in all regularly scheduled performances may not pass the course.
Audition Information
Auditions are open to current 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students. For program-specific details, refer to the Theatre and Dance links. Students should consult their school counselor or contact the instructors directly:
- Dance: Mrs. Thuman, thumani@lc-ps.org
- Theatre: Mr. Trzaskoma, trzasgr@lc-ps.org
Auditions are a subjective process and are not the ultimate measure of one’s talent, but they are the best method we have for determining placement in a performing arts program. We carefully review auditions and student responses on their audition forms with the goal of creating the best mix of students possible.
Every year, students in the program are re-evaluated. Some students may be placed out of the program, while others who were waitlisted may be admitted.
Student Opportunities
Every student has unique talents, and we respect them. We thank all students for their interest and audition for the programs. If a student is denied admittance into the program this year and still wishes to pursue the performing arts, they are encouraged to:
- Take acting classes at their home schools
- Actively participate in after-school drama programs offered by Pankow Center, their home schools, or private studios
We sincerely hope they continue to pursue their interest in the performing arts.
