Through the study of drama, boys learn lessons that go far beyond the stage. Young actors are expected to communicate to their audience with poise and clarity while working together with their fellow Marksmen both in front of and behind the scenes. 
Drama begins in Lower School, where students explore fundamental elements through fables, myths, and Shakespeare. Each grade performs for students and parents.

Middle School offers courses in drama, production, and improv. Students broaden theater skills through improv, scriptwriting, stage combat, and technical theater, including lights, sound, scenery, and props. Seventh- and eighth-graders design and execute technical elements and serve as the crew for performances.

Upper School drama offers intensive acting and production studies through classwork and plays. Courses focus on acting techniques, theory, and performance, with exercises, scenes, and monologues emphasizing character development, speech, and physical expression.
