Avalon Theater

Avalon~Brookewood Theater
Each winter, Brookewood and Avalon students tryout for specific parts in a  play produced by the school's drama director. Students from grades 6 and up are allowed to tryout. Past plays produced include:  A Midsummer Night's Dream, Our Town, Cheaper by the Dozen, An Ideal Husband,  Twelfth Night, and more. 

​Students become familiar with plays first through their literature courses, studying Shakespeare's plays (and sometimes acting them out in class) starting in the middle school.
