Lenaea High School Theatre Festival
MISSION:
To advance the education of high school theatre arts students by offering opportunities to strengthen, promote and share artistic skills within an interactive and supportive educational environment.
HISTORY/INFORMATION:
The Lenaea High School Theatre Festival is an annual three-day educational event at which high school students come together to perform theatrical pieces, receive evaluation and feedback from theatre professionals, and attend workshops on theatre topics.
The Lenaea Festival has existed since 1956. Inspired by the Lenaea Festivals of Ancient Greece, this festival was originally established by Sacramento State College (now CSU Sacramento) to support and encourage theatre arts programs at the high school level. The Lenaea Festival incorporated as its own nonprofit entity in 2012, and is now held at the Harris Center for the Arts at Folsom Lake College.
