Madison Academy Theatre Department
Our theatre program for grades 6 through 12 offers comprehensive classes in both performance and technical theatre. Students develop skills in acting, singing, set design, lighting, sound, and more through class plays, hands-on production work, and participation in state festivals such as the Alabama Conference of Theatre’s Trumbauer Festival and the Alabama Educational Theatre Association’s Thespian Festival. Rooted in a faith-based mission, our program encourages students to grow creatively and spiritually, using their talents to serve others and share their faith through theatre.
