Welcome

  • Thank you for visiting the homepage for the NPHS Theatre Department.

    It is my belief that through the Theatre Arts, students are given the incredible opportunity to develop their imagination and creativity individually, while working as a community in a collaborative environment.

    Our Theatre Department offers Theatre I CP, Theatre II, Technical Theatre CP, Theatre Practicum (Production class), Honors Stage Production ROP, IB Theatre, Stagecraft ROP (Articulated with Ventura County Community College District).

    In addition to creating theatrical productions, students also have the opportunity to attend theatre festivals and competitions, to showcase their work, apply for scholarships and allow them the opportunity to collaborate with other theatre students from around the country.
    We are also proud members of the International Thespian Society.

    We are excited about the future of the Theatre Department at NPHS and look forward to sharing our hard work with you.

We invite parents to become involved. Getting involved provides you the avenue to be connected, and more importantly, the opportunity to make a positive impact on your student’s education.

All of our programs require additional funding. With the support of caring parents like you, we are able to offer academic and personal enrichment for our students and for our entire NPHS Theatre Community. Please consider making a donation.

Don’t forget!  Many employers have a “Matching Fund” program so please be sure to talk to your Human Resource department so that you can easily DOUBLE your donation.
