Walled Lake Northern High School Performing Arts Department is more than the idea of a good education in the arts, but a family of dedicated and passionate directors, students and parents. Each member of the Production Team below has a desire to not only teach, but to share with the community the need for artistic expression as a means to communicate our joys and struggles. Italian Actor, Director and Playwright Dario Fo puts it best, “A theater, a literature, an artistic expression that does not speak for its own time has no relevance.”
​
To support Walled Lake Northern’s students to artistically “speak for their own time”, we construct and perform one play and one musical each school year. During the preparation of these productions, students learn to appreciate and acquire skill in acting, singing, costume design, set construction and technical stage trades. Our department takes pride in the quality and thoughtfulness of our approach to the performing arts.
