The Theater Arts Program at Miller Fine Arts Magnet Middle School addresses a child’s complex intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and cultural world. As an intellectual tool, theater not only teaches facts and figures, but routinely invites analysis, judgment, and synthesis. Miller’s Theater Program encourages cooperative learning, team work, organization, and leadership skills while seamlessly integrating all aspects of the art form: script writing, acting, designing, directing, researching, comparing art forms, analyzing, critiquing, and understanding contexts.  At Miller Fine Art Magnet Middle School, we teach students to see the created world of theater through multiple perspectives: the playwright, actor, designer, director, and discerning audience member, and we encourage our students to view and deconstruct dramatic works as not only a collection of denotative and connotative meanings, but as a metaphoric vision of life that invites, supports, and celebrates varied interpretations. Miller Fine Art Middle School's students are able to express emotion in a safe environment, and learn how to calibrate their emotional responses to various stimuli. Miller’s Theater Program endows all students with insight and physicality, offering them the opportunity to explore areas of social interaction within their social domains or formal domains.
