This is where you find your people—a community that celebrates the work behind the scenes as much as the applause at the end. As a part of the KHS Arts Pathway, our theater program provides access to professional-grade equipment and tools that give you help you grow in your creative journey. Whether you are headed for a career in the arts or simply looking for a place to create and belong, the experiences you have here and the friendships you build will stay with you long after the final curtain falls.

 

Different Stories, One Team.

At Kokomo High School, a production is more than what happens under the spotlight. The KHS theater is a powerhouse of collaboration. Every production is a collective experience where a hundred different moving parts work in total sync. From the first rehearsal to the final curtain call, this is where students come together to build something bigger than themselves.

This stage is for everyone. Whether you’re the one holding the script, the spotlight, or the cello bow, you are the reason the story gets told.

Behind the Scenes or Center Stage: You Have an Important Part to Play

It takes all of us to bring a show to life. This is how our students make it happen:

  • The Build & The Foundation: This is for the creators. Stage Crew and Props turn raw materials into reality. If you’re into construction, hands-on design, or organization, you belong here.

  • The Mood & The Environment: Lighting and Sound crews control the energy of the show. You’ll work the boards to make sure every scene looks and sounds exactly right.

  • The Rhythm: For the musicians, the Pit Orchestra provides the live soul of our musicals. It’s a high-energy, rewarding experience that serves as the base for the entire performance.

  • The Storytellers: Acting and Performance focus on character development, vocal work, and presence. It’s about the discipline and the guts to stand in front of your peers and deliver a genuine performance.
