Landmark Studio for the Arts

There is something truly historic happening for the future of theatre in Braxton County. 💜🎭 The Landmark Studio for the Arts is proud to celebrate the return of theatre education to Braxton County High School, taught by Landmark Player and LYTE alumna, Mrs. Taylor High. For many years, Braxton County High School did not have a theatre program. During that time, students who were interested in performing arts had no classroom-based theatre education available to them and instead found their only outlet through community theatre, here, at the Landmark. While the Landmark provides meaningful and formative experiences, it also made clear something important: without a school-based program, students were missing the structured educational foundation that helps prepare them for theatre beyond high school. That is why this moment is so significant. Mrs. High returned to BCHS this past fall as Director of Bands and Choir Director, with the hope of one day restoring theatre education to the school. That hope has now become reality, marking the return of a program that had been absent for years. Before returning home, Mrs. High taught band and theatre in another county, gaining experience across all disciplines. Her path in the arts began at the Landmark at just 4 years old and continued through LYTE, where early theatre experiences helped shape her into an educator. The Landmark has always been more than a theatre; it has been a second home and a foundation. The same stage where she once performed is now a place where she watches her own 2-year-old begin her journey, continuing a legacy that spans generations. This moment represents something bigger than one classroom or one organization. It is the rebuilding of a bridge between school and community arts - something that did not exist for many years in Braxton County. We are incredibly excited to see theatre return to BCHS and to watch students now experience both the educational foundation of a classroom program and the lifelong friendships and creative growth that come from the Landmark. The future of the arts in Braxton County is not just bright, it is being rebuilt, together. 💚💛

We're not the only ones missing our wasteland friends, right?😢

🎭 WHY THEATRE? 🎭 Why do we tell stories on stage? Why do we spend hours rehearsing, building, creating? Why does theatre matter? Because theatre brings stories to life. Because it gives people a place to belong. Because it lets us feel something real. Because it brings us together. Whether you’re on stage, behind the scenes, or sitting in the audience… theatre connects us in a way nothing else can. We want to hear from YOU… Why does theatre matter to you?
