Past Productions

This semester, we chose to put on Zombie Prom: Atomic Edition, one of Ms. Goodman's favorite shows since middle school. Students really got into the campy nature of this goofy piece! Sets were decorated by Theatre Design students and the show was completely choreographed by Kim Chesley-Breland's advanced dance classes! This show was so fun simply because of the 50's time period, catchy toons, and opportunity for collaboration.

Honors Performance students did such a great job putting on this silly play about the distractions of the internet. This class play was directed by Elizabeth Johnson and designed/performed by her Honors Performance classmates. A highlight of this performance was a hilarious preshow video created by Zachary Sottery and Joseph Herman featuring Ms. Goodman's cats, Shekel and Tenor!

Our first show/competition piece of the 2024-2025 season was a hit! No Room for a Picture on the Blank Wall details the life of a man and his family as they go about life after his diagnosis with Alzheimer's. At the state conference, there was no dry eye in the theater after the kids' performance. Our ensemble won an award for Excellence in Acting. Actors Zeke Dunn (Peter Bunther) and Kaylen Cox (Rosemary Bunther) won Super awards from the Palmetto Dramatic Association for their performances in the show. Kaylen also received one of two coveted Blair Beasley Scholarships, making Cox the first ever recipient from Beckham to receive this special award.

Our Musical Theatre class put on the classic tale of Little Women this year. For this production, we were able to rent gorgeous costumes from Philadelphia. Little Women was praised for students' expert singing (under the direction of Tiffany Hill) and great period-specific acting. Not only did we have fabulous actors onstage, but we received some nice set pieces from Dr. Stroud's Construction Class as well as beautiful lighting by student lighting designer, Patrick Reardon.

This show was performed by the 2023-2024 Upper Level Honors Theatre class at school and at the PDA/SC Thespian Conference. There, the show scored an "Excellent" and actors Isabella Noguiera, Ethan Roina, and Zeke Dunn won "Excellent" awards for their acting as well.

Lower Level Honors Theatre wasn't originally slated to perform a play this year; however, this hardworking group of students earned one. This group of awesome actors received a grant from the Charleston County School District's Visual and Performing Arts Department and put on this hilarious show. An Absolutely True Story was completely student-led. Students directed, designed, and acted in this wonderfully quirky play.

Airport Encounters, our first ever show under the direction of our current theatre teacher, Ms. Goodman, was a vignette-style play about individuals meeting in the airport. This was performed by the Honors Theatre Class for an in-school, student audience and for our greater community and parents later that evening.
