Middle School Theatre
Grades 5-8
Our Middle School Drama Department offers a broad spectrum of classes starting in grade 5. Our student-centered approach ensures each student is supported to reach their full potential. With an emphasis on technique and personal creativity, our actors explore scenic and costume design, audition technique, vocal production, playwriting, scene study, mask work, the art of improvisation, public speaking, and more.
Dedicated to developing the student as a whole, we focus on developing empathy, resilience, independence, community, confidence, and unity in diversity.
Our actors compete at both the district and state levels, earning countless “Double Superior” marks, as well as recognition for many other awards. Actors in grades 6-8 have the opportunity to audition for our fall production and spring musical. Uniquely positioned to serve our actors, we offer training for the novice, beginner, intermediate, and advanced performer.

In the Heights Cast Video
In the Spring of 2020, the Gulliver Prep Players were set to perform In the Heights at Pinecrest Gardens. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 crisis, the show was canceled. Gabrielle Hagenlocker ‘20 put together this behind-the-scenes video to commemorate the cast’s journey, and give our community a glimpse of what we were unable to see.
