The role of risk-taking in the learning process is central to growth moments for adolescents. Nowhere at Proctor is this experience more evident than in the performing arts. Each year, new talent, personalities, passions, and opportunities present themselves through performing arts courses and afternoon activities, making this version of Proctor wholly unique.

Proctor’s performing arts program offers opportunities in theater, instrumental and vocal music, and audio recording. Students learn to sing, dance, act, direct, make and record music, build sets, design lights, sew costumes, and produce projects of their own design, spending countless hours developing all aspects of their performance abilities in preparation for the annual drama productions, and instrumental music, vocal music, and dance recitals. It is not only the process and the outcome of a performance that shapes students, but the very act of performing in front of an audience.
