Ipswich Middle and High School Drama Curriculum

The Ipswich Public School system has a fine tradition of involving its students in stage performances from the elementary years on. During the preparation and performance of these shows, students learn the basics of stage presence, diction, singing, and dancing. Middle school students present an annual musical and also have the opportunity to participate in the chorus of the high school musical production. The high school produces three shows each year with a fall musical, a winter one-act competition play, and a spring comedy or drama. Click here for more information about the drama curriculum.
