Students practice choreography in chorus room at The Peddie School

Theater courses are one term at Peddie, and there are endless opportunities to be on the stage, build the sets, run the lights or sound, stage-manage, choreograph or even be a dramaturg. Peddie holds two plays and two musicals each year in addition to a series of one-acts, a public speaking competition and a declamation contest. With our proximity to both New York City and Philadelphia, students can work with theater professionals and have access to some of the best theater experiences in the country.
