Wolfpack Theatre — Justice High School’s Theatre Arts program — involves students at all grade levels in a wide range of credited classes as well as extracurricular activities.
The department provides students with a safe, professional, positive working environment in which to explore the many elements of Theatre Arts. Classes are all highly participatory and engage the whole student – voice, body, intellect, imagination, heart.
Participating in Theatre Arts classes and extracurricular activities gives students a fun and challenging way to develop professional and personal skills. The department programs guide students to be articulate communicators, effective collaborators, wise risk takers, motivated innovators and more. The theatre arts program at Justice aims to give students experiences that develop skills in high demand in the 21st Century work place and our rapidly changing world.
Meet THE Director
Gregory Stowers graduated cum laude from James Madison University with a BA in Musical Theatre. After graduating, he performed across the country performing in touring productions of musicals! Some of his favorite acting credits include: Maurice in Beauty and the Beast, the Reverend in Bat Boy, the Adult Man in Spring Awakening, the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood, Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Sky in Mamma Mia.
This is Mr. Stowers’s first year at Justice High School, and he is so excited to join the Wolfpack. This is his seventh year as a theatre educator, having started teaching in his hometown of Williamsburg, VA at James Blair Middle School. He was fortunate enough to be awarded as the 2019 Teacher of the Year at JBMS. In 2020, Mr. Stowers moved to Northern Virginia to be the Theatre Director at Katherine Johnson Middle School, where he grew the department into a successful haven for growing minds in theatre, musical theatre, and dance. He was humbled to have been nominated for the 2023 National Excellence in Theatre Education Award with the American Theatre Wing for his work at KJMS.
In addition to teaching, he has directed the fabulous productions at Westfield High School’s Summer Stage over the past four years. He counts those productions of The Drowsy Chaperone, Footloose, High School Musical, and Mamma Mia as some of his favorite theatrical experiences to date, and cannot wait to continue spreading theatrical joy with Justice High School.
