Claremont High School Theatre is a nationally-acclaimed theatre department. We have over 500 students involved, many of whom are also inducted Thespians who compete at state, national, and international levels. Our students work in both the art of performing and technical theatre. We are ranked in the top 1% of theatre departments in California, and we are among the top public high school theatre departments in the nation. CHS puts on 6-8 shows a year, including plays, musicals, showcases, one-acts, and ComedySportz High School League matches. Join us in celebrating our 56th season!
