About Theater
The Ames High School theater program provides performance and technical theatre experience for students in grades 9-12. The AHS Performing Arts Center is located inside the main entrance to the school and offers state-of-the-art performance and technical opportunities. Theater has many opportunities for student performers and technicians in grades 9-12. A play is produced each fall and spring. The winter musical is always a favorite and all productions are open to students in grades 9-12. Through theater, students can further refine their performance and technical skills. AHS Theater has been a long tradition. Students who participate in theater gain the skills to act and perform as an ensemble, get the encouragement to build their self-confidence, all an inclusive environment that is welcoming for everyone.
