Welcome to Parkview Theatre & Film

Transform

Theatre exists as a collaborative art form. Designers, builders, makeup artists, lighting board operators, costumers, and stage crew members work alongside the actors and directors to transform a play from the written word to an experience.  Parkview students have opportunities to explore all of those avenues and to create transformative moments.

Act

With MainStage shows each semester, 24-Hour Play festival, Freshman One Act, an extremely active mime troupe, a touring improv team, and so many more, Parkview students have many opportunities to grow as actors of all stripes.
Actors can sing and dance in the spring musical, and they can portray historical figures presenting scenes from their lives in the cemetery where they are laid to rest in Tales of the Crypt. Versatile opportunities allow actors to become well-rounded performers at Parkview.

Devise

Parkview encourages devising, or collaboratively creating, original scripts each year with our Arkansas Adventures show that tours to area schools. 
Students also have student-director opportunities on multiple productions each year. 
Parkview offers entire classes on playwrighting and ensemble devised theatre.

About the show: Mean Girls: The Musical is based on the film by famed writer/actor/producer Tina Fey based on the 2002 nonfiction book Queen Bees and Wannabees by Rosalind Wiseman. In the Musical, Caty leaves her home in Africa for a new school in America, but the school predators are just as fierce as the jungle predators back home. Caty navigates her way through friend groups until she is the “Apex Predator.” Caty, however, finds that being the Apex Predator comes with its own set of challenges. Will Caty follow in the footsteps of Regina George and prioritize revenge and maintaining status, or will Caty choose a kinder, gentler path? This coming-of-age story serves as a cautionary tale for the jungles of predators and prey in any school.

Fall Show

A group of teens on a tiny island in the Everglades of south Florida are stuck. Their families, their access to the world beyond, and the systems that hold their lives together all keep them from moving toward lives that could have them succeed. Will they make it out, or will these teens be caught Ever in the Glades?

Synopsis: Based on the beloved book by Roald Dahl, Matilda tells the story of a girl with wit, intelligence . . . and maybe even a little magic. Her parents are rude and cruel but she finds a special bond with her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, though – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull (the hilarious bad-guy of the show), HATES children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be her classmate's only hope! Packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs and unforgettable characters, Matilda is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special girl with an extraordinary imagination.
