During the Open House, current Severn students lead the way, giving prospective families - parents and students - a true student's-eye view of what it's like to be a part of our learning community. Through a variety of information sessions hosted throughout campus, student guides will help you discover more about our performing arts, athletics, academics and student life programs. Attendees also have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session with current students. Most of all, it's an opportunity for you and your child to picture themselves as an Admiral.While this is a combined Upper and Middle School event, your Open House experience will be tailored to the Division to which you/your student would be applying.

Have you ever watched improv comedy and wondered 'how do they do that???' Join Severn for a one-hour Improv Theater Workshop and find out! The skills that allow actors to create magical and amazing live improv are also the skills that allow our students to take risks, to self-regulate, to express themselves, to engage, follow, and lead. Improv skills are not just about making better actors: they are about making better people. They're about making people (of all ages!) who can communicate, share space, listen, work together, and collaborate effectively within a wide range of contexts and contents. Prospective Upper School students are invited to join Dr. Patterson and members of the Severn School Improv Club for an hour of games, laughter, and collaboration. Learn core principles of improv comedy including "yes and-", accepting offers, and the "cop in the head" in a fun, relaxed, and creative environment, and hear more about the many amazing opportunities in the Upper School Theatre Program at Severn School!

Join the Theater Department for an Invited Dress Rehearsal (for prospective Upper School families only.)On the evening of November 18, the Water Street Players, Severn's student theatre group, will hold its final dress rehearsal for the fall production of She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen. She Kills Monsters tells the story of high schooler Agnes Evans as she deals with the death of her younger sister, Tilly. When Agnes stumbles upon Tilly's Dungeons & Dragons notebook, she finds herself catapulted into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was her sister's refuge. Prospective students and parents are invited to attend this final dress rehearsal where anything can, and often does, go wrong and then stay to talk with the cast and crew at the end. While not a performance, observing a dress rehearsal offers an authentic look at the whole process of producing a show. To register, visit www.severnschool.com/open-house
