The theatre program at Mount Dora Christian Academy provides students with the opportunity to explore their creativity, build confidence, and cultivate a lifelong appreciation for the performing arts. With a long-standing tradition in the Mount Dora community, MDCA Theatre brings stories to life through fully staged productions that showcase the talents of both elementary and secondary students.

A Creative Journey

Our productions are truly student-centered—everything from acting on stage to designing sets,
managing props, and running lights and sound is handled by our dedicated student teams. This
hands-on approach allows students to gain experience not only as performers but also as
leaders, collaborators, and problem-solvers behind the scenes.

As part of the broader Fine Arts program, theatre complements music and visual arts by
encouraging students to discover their voice, share their gifts, and inspire the community. At
MDCA, the stage is a place where faith, creativity, and learning come together.

Inside the Classroom

Theatre at MDCA is more than an extracurricular activity—it is also an academic discipline.
Students may participate in middle school and high school theatre classes, pursue dual
enrollment courses, and even explore the art of storytelling on screen through our film
appreciation class. Together, these opportunities give students a well-rounded foundation in
performance, theatre history, and production.
