Performing arts

Drama

The high school drama department puts on multiple productions each academic year. Recent and upcoming examples include The Foreigner, MacBeth, Exit the King, and A Tale of Two Cities. Drama students also attend 15 or more professional productions over the course of the year, getting the opportunity to experience the vitality of Los Angeles theater and speak with the casts and crews of these productions.

Bridges middle schoolers also perform plays and showcases throughout the academic year.



Music

The Bridges Academy Music Program, which recently completed its 10th year, has grown from two bands and four hours a week of rehearsal time to five bands, three workshops, and two music composition and production classes. Between Blues Band, Rock Band, Electric Pop Band, Hard Rock Band, Guitar Workshop, and Percussion Workshop, after-school rehearsals run all five days of the week. Students have four or five shows per year—including the extremely popular Coffeehouse events, which are always  a source of community pride and enjoyment.

The Music Department also frequently hosts guest performers and instructors.

Musical Theater

The Bridges Theatre Department produces a musical each academic year, with recent/upcoming examples including The Magic School Bus and Urinetown. The former was an original composition by a Bridges alum, based on the popular kids' television program. 

A student in the program also staged a production of Damn Yankees as part of her Badges project during the 2016-2017 school year.

Also, a talent show each semester features a vast array of student skills and interest, including music, drama, comedy, and much more.

These famous people were all thought to be twice exceptional. They were brilliant in their fields and made great contributions to society in spite of their challenges.
