Drama and Theatre
Theatre has a long history at Punahou.
Though the Drama Department was officially formed in 1986, theatrical productions have been a part of Punahou curricular or co-curricular activities since its founding in 1841.- In K – 5, theatre is incorporated into chapel productions, with the direction of drama faculty.
- In grades 6 – 8, drama, musical theatre, improvisation and technical theatre electives become available.
- The Academy (grades 9 – 12) theatre courses include varied topics in acting, musical theatre and technical theatre, and fulfill the graduation requirement of two credits in the Visual and Performing Arts.
