Theatre Productions

The director selects the shows in the production season that will best encourage and build the students’ talents and skills. The genres of the shows include but are not limited to Shakespeare, Contemporary, Children’s, Drama, Comedy, Musical, World Theatre, Commedia Dell'arte, and many more. Audition information can be found later in the Handbook.MAIN STAGE MUSICAL: The main stage production is the largest and most complex of the year (perhaps with exception to the musical). It takes place in the Viking PAC. This show definitely puts the actors and technicians to the test. Anyone and everyone is welcome to audition. The time commitment for the musical is more than the other shows; rehearsals for the musical normally last three months.BLACK BOX SHOW: This show takes place in the Black Box Theater! A smaller venue and a smaller cast. This production gives the students the chance to develop a different acting style for an intimate space.UIL OAP: This is the show the Lago Vista Vikings take to competition in
the spring. This show is also a class, but anyone may audition for it. The auditions happen a year in advance in order to be enrolled in the class. In addition to the audition there is also an interview that takes place before casting. Students MUST be enrolled in the class to participate.T.M.I.(TOO MUCH IMPROV): Viking Theatre’s Improv troupe. Students
must audition to prove their quick wit in order to be a part of this unique troupe of actors.
