Theater 'Black Box'
In addition, to offering entry-level and advanced courses in theater training, the Theater Department and Drama Club put on several productions each year. Their participation in the annual Northeast Florida Thespian Festival has been award-winning for decades. The legendary "Night of One Acts" is a Stanton tradition and is completely written, directed, and produced by Students. Mrs. Aaron DeCicco and Mr. Jeff Grove and are currently at the helm of this program. Mrs. DeCicco says, "The IB Theater program offers analytic studies of World Theater Traditions and the opportunity to explore these traditions in in-class workshops and exercises. Students will receive exposure to a myriad of theatrical performances and will work on in-class productions, providing the experience that will prepare them to successfully complete the IB Assessments."
