Description: The Blake Stage Company is open to all Blake High School students, and serves to provide a variety of experiences in which students can learn about theatre arts through performance and other theatre activities. The Stage Company is comprised of four divisions: onstage performers, technical production members, the Improv Company, and the Forensics Team (with many students involved in several divisions). The Stage Company puts on two Main stage productions per year in the Blake Theatre (a fall play and a spring musical), and additional Second Stage productions in the Black Box Theatre. All productions require cast members, technicians, and craftspersons, and audition/signup information is posted as each production begins. The Improv Company and Forensics Team are year-round activities that operate distinctly from productions, and their rehearsal/meeting times are scheduled to allow students to participate without conflicting with production work. Interested students are encouraged to check the Call Board (in D hall, outside the Auditorium) for the latest information on productions and events.
