Spring 2026 Show

Get ready for talent, laughter, and surprises! The Christian Heritage Academy Theater Department presents the 57th National Mathlete SUM-IT on Friday, March 6, at 7:00 PM, and Saturday March 7, at 2:00 PM in the Auditorium.  

After losing - then winning - a regional math competition, a group of smart and funny whiz kids are off to compete in a national Mathlete SUM-IT. They must unite to solve difficult math problems without getting distracted by teen drama and pressures. Always witty, sometimes uproarious, it's a tale of students conquering anxiety and rivalry, finding a way to affirm themselves as individuals and as team-members, learning to win at math… and at life!

Directed by Mrs. Karen Burke, the show promises big laughs and bold breakthroughs!

Find Your Place

Ever dreamed of belting out a showstopper, bringing a hilarious improv scene to life, or creating a space where everyone can flourish?

This comprehensive approach prepares our students for creating a variety of performances, including improvisatory sketches, monologues, scenes, and mini-musicals. These activities foster Christ-like empathy and effective communication essential for building strong communities. To this end, participation in the performing arts (whether theater, music, or debate) is a requirement for Middle School students and encouraged for those in Upper School.

    Theater students will:

      • Participate in improvisatory exercises, games, and performances to explore emotions, active listening, physicality, and collaborative storytelling.
      • Delve into scripted monologues and dialogues, analyzing characters and developing scene performances with attention to detail in costumes, props, and stage elements.
      • Explore musical theater, studying live productions, crafting their characters, and enhancing relational skills through discussion improvisations.

      Meet Our Play Director

      Mrs. Burke is fascinated by stories—especially true stories—whether they are told in a book, on a screen, or across a campfire. She helps students of all ages develop the competencies to tell them well through the art of theater.

        Being in theater, I have learned a lot about myself and the many gifts that God has given me to serve for his kingdom.

        Jay, CHA Student

        One thing that I love about the theater program is that no matter how badly I mess up, I will always have people around me to encourage me and help me grow in my skills.
