Technical Arts
Our department strives to be a well-rounded theatre experience. We teach our students advance techniques in makeup, sound, lights, and set design. Students can sign up to be part of our Saturday Tech crew for productions or our STAGECRAFT course during the school day for further training.

Burke High School offers a variety of theatre courses including: Stagecraft, Advanced Stagecraft, Drama 1-2, Advanced Drama 3-4, and Honors Drama 5-6.
