The CPS Theater program helps students learn to communicate, collaborate, create, and celebrate by experiencing the theater arts. The program is driven by the belief that everyone has creative potential and that, moreover, this potential is best developed by a combination of a demand for excellence and a belief in each individual student's capacity for excellence. CPS Theater program is currently offered at the upper school and high school level.
