CREATIVITY AND EXPRESSION
THE CYPRESS CENTER FOR THE ARTS
The state-of-the-art Cypress Center for the Arts at Windermere Prep hosts over a hundred events throughout the year, allowing our students to inspire, imagine, and create across drama, voice, dance, and the visual arts.
It’s home to the impressive Dr. Thomas L. Marcy Theatre, where our world-class performing arts curriculum in collaboration with The Juilliard School is flourishing daily. We’re proud that 90% of WPS families are happy with our performing arts facilities, encouraging our students to pursue all their creative talents.
The Cypress Center features:
-
535 seats in the audience and a 300-seat flexible area with retractable seating that can be used to create a large open space for gatherings at the Dr. Thomas L. Marcy Theatre.
-
A large, 55-foot-wide theatre stage that stands 20 feet tall with an overall stage depth of 30 feet — ready to support all kinds of solo and group performances and theatrical productions.
