The Summit Academy’s Speech & Drama Program, directed by Mr. Patrick Clark, provides students with unique opportunities to cultivate stage presence, confidence, and creativity within the classical liberal-arts tradition. The program is an integral part of the school’s curriculum, fostering a deeper understanding of the arts.

In December, a festive mystery dinner show offers an intimate setting for students to perform while guests enjoy fellowship and a meal. The cast for this dinner theater production is assembled from Mr. Clark’s fall elective course.

Every March, Summit Speech & Drama stages the flagship Spring Play. This full-scale theatrical production relies on student talent, creativity, and dedication in all aspects, from actors and stage managers to set design, lighting, and more.
