Developing each child's voice
The Davis Academy is leading the way nationally in comprehensive, integrated Theatre Arts Education. The Theatre Program reaches Fourth-Eighth graders on a daily basis where students form vocally confident and empowered identities, develop an awareness of the world around them; and learn to work collaboratively. Theatre is connected into every other class content area from Jewish Studies to Science. Over 65% of the students are involved in the Theatre Program whether in the annual musical, the exploratory, electives, or after-school programming. Students are introduced to the building blocks of Theatre Arts skills and knowledge through applying basic theatre terminology, stage directions, physical skills, kinesthetic movement, emotional recall, playwriting, collaborative design and group performance projects.
We are committed to developing and nurturing each child’s passions and unique voice on and off the stage. We encourage students to become big picture thinkers, champions of creative play,
innovators, and collaborative
communicators.

Moana Jr.
From our “youngest fish and little coconuts” who are just finding their way to the stage to our 8th graders who bid a teary farewell as the final curtain closed, Moana Jr. was a heartwarming and soul inspiring experience. Many thanks and countless accolades abound for our student thespians, parent volunteers, alumni mentors (including those who joined our cast as “the ancestors”), and the many faculty and staff who have supported our children and this massive team effort for the months, weeks and days that culminated with this week’s spectacular shows.
Aladdin Jr.
Under the masterful direction of Kendrick Phillips, Director of Visual and Performing Arts at The Davis Academy, the Rosenberg Performing Arts Theatre came alive with the enchanting production of Disney’s Aladdin Jr. Nearly 180 talented students, from Mechina: Kindergarten Prep through 8th grade, brought this school-wide musical to life, both on stage and behind the scenes. Their performances and outreach shows captivated an audience of more than 2,800 people. Inspired by Disney's 1992 Academy Award®-winning film and the 2014 Broadway hit, this production was a vibrant, exceptional, and truly magical experience.
The SpongeBob Musical
Congratulations to the cast, crew members and volunteers of SpongeBob the Musical on their four outstanding performances! Many thanks to our Director of Visual and Performing Arts, Kendrick Phillips, for her creative vision and steadfast devotion to The Davis Academy’s theater program, and to Mr. Michek and countless others on our faculty and staff, parent volunteers, alumni mentors, administrators, staff members and our sponsors, who helped bring this show to life. We are so appreciative of you all helping our children to shine on stage!
