Faculty profiles JIM AVENI
Visual & Performing Arts Department Chair; Director of Instrumental Music “Music is a profound and important part of our lives. The Ensworth music program educates our students about this universal language through the study of music theory, history, performance, and technology. We encourage our students to learn about and perform music that speaks to who they are as individuals, and use their talents for creative expression and discovery.”
CODY ALLEN
Technical Theatre Director “When you go to a play, the opera, the ballet, or even a concert, you may happen to notice the lighting effects, audio effects, costuming, makeup, and the sets the performers are on. All of these things are part of the world of technical theatre. With my recent experience at Disney, I am excited to bring a sense of Technical Theatre “magic” to our many Ensworth productions. The world of technical theatre is vast and constantly evolving. Ensworth students have the creativity and drive to become proficient operators and world leading designers of Technical Theatre.”
DAVID BERRY
Director of Theatre “The Ensworth theatre program extends into and beyond the classroom. Theatre classes exercise the Core Skills through in-depth scene studies from dramatic literature, including Thornton Wilder, Tennessee Williams, Samuel Beckett, and Shakespeare. Main stage and student-directed theatre productions embrace storytelling as an essential vehicle in a community’s search for truth and as a time-honored forum for exploring and practicing the highest principles with the greatest love.” | Photography by Charles Indaka
