Theatre I is designed to give students a deeper understanding, and appreciation for the fine art of theatre through exploration of its basic elements. Theatre I students engage in ensemble building, vocabulary, acting skills, introduction to technical theatre and creative processes. These activities facilitate artistic growth through storytelling, character development, improvisation, creative movement and scripted scenes.

Theatre II students will take their knowledge of performance and build upon it.  The focus of this course is acting and directing. Students will be required to direct short scenes and perform in both their classmates’ scenes and alone. Students will study a wide variety of acting and directing styles to apply to specific projects. 

Students will participate in all elements of a full theatrical production. From acting to technical design, students will facilitate all aspects of the Spring Play (TBD year to year based on enrollment).  Students will be required to meet outside of class during the week prior to performance dates for technical rehearsals. This course may be taken more than once. 

Production Design is a project based course that allows students to tap into their artistic and creative side. After learning basic knowledge in Costume, Sound, Set, and Lighting Design, students will choose a project that interests them based on the needs of the co-curricular show. Using their skills and learned theatrical knowledge, their work will be showcased and used in the final co-curricular show during their semester. They are invited to the show they worked on for free!

Dance is a newly offered course in the 2023-2024 year! Ms. Dale is excited, as the class is already full! After learning the ballet basics, every couple weeks, we will learn about a new style of dance or famous dancer through warm-ups, across the floor combos, and choreography. Stretch your body and your mind in this fun, physical, and hands-on course! Currently, this course is a VPA credit and not a PE credit.
