Buena Fine Arts Productions is an extracurricular component of the Theatre Arts program at Buena High School. BFAP focuses on the performing arts and is dedicated to creating opportunities for students to participate in live productions. The organization attracts students interested in the performing arts, including those involved in band, choir, and theatre. However, all productions are open to any interested member of the student body.
Students take on various roles in productions, fostering a strong sense of ownership and pride in their work and the program. Buena Fine Arts Productions stages at least five shows each year, with all funding generated solely through ticket sales and student contributions.
Sponsored by the Educational Theatre Association, the International Thespian Society has been honoring the excellent work of theatre students since 1929 and Buena’s Troupe #2903 began active membership in 1978. The International Thespian Society is an Honor Society that recognizes excellence among students of the theatre and promotes the arts as a tool for life long learning. Troupe #2903 is a student led organization and members strive to spread their love of theatre and work to promote theatre & the arts in the community.
All Thespian meetings and events are open, so anyone is welcome to attend and see what we do. We accept applications every fall and spring.
