Drama

“Drama is open to all interested students and is intended to foster creative growth and technical know how in a fun, supportive environment,” LTS Drama Director Tracey Wesley explained of the Long Trail philosophy.  “Students are encouraged to participate in all areas of the theatre while building self confidence and developing camaraderie with their fellow thespians.  We are blessed by the generosity and talent of many community organizations and individuals.”

Everyone at Long Trail takes pride in the outstanding quality of the drama production, put on by student actors and supported by student technicians.  Long Trail is widely recognized for its dramatic excellence.  It has participated in the Vermont Drama Council Regional One-Act Festival since 1990 and has qualified for the State Festival five times.  Long Trail is also one of 50 American high schools selected to participate in the Summer 2005 Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, the largest performing arts festival in the world.

In the last weeks before opening night, as an actor, technician or stagehand, students are busy until late afternoon putting the finishing touches on their performances.
