VISTA Productions Upper School

VISTA Productions, the upper school theater program, produces three main stage productions a year: a fall play or musical, Full Circle which is a student created production in the winter and a spring musical. Students may participate in acting, singing, dancing, scenic crew, and technical theater. Full Circle is based on a new theme every year and offers numerous creative and leadership opportunities which may include script writing, directing and choreographing. In addition, we also produce the VISTA Variety Show which is a two night celebration of the outstanding talents of Vis and STA students and faculty.
