Highlights:
Course Description: Honors Theatre Arts Accomplished and Advanced are intensive courses offering study and work often generated through and resulting from seminar or ensemble. These courses follow the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for Theatre Arts and the Arts Education Honors Course Standards in order to provide a foundation for exploratory, experiential and/or open-ended experiences. Students are involved in a wide variety of activities including historical research for productions, script writing through improvisation, directing, designing, conceptualizing, and realizing informal and formal productions. Independent work in these courses develops commitment and helps students form aesthetic judgments and refine artistic choices. Quality plays are produced. Attendance at performances is required.
