Welcome to Drama!
Welcome to Drama!
This year, for the first time, Sierra will be offering two different levels of drama: Drama A and Drama B. This will give students the opportunity to choose a course that best fits their interests. In Drama A, students will learn the fundamentals of theatre, from improv and physical acting to character analysis. For those interested in singing and dancing, Drama B offers an introduction to musical theatre, exploring the exciting world of performance through song. We can't wait to see what our students create!
In both classes, we will learn to create, perform and critically respond as theatre artists. Please use this page as a resource and to stay up to date with class assignments.
If you are absent please check this page and your Google Classroom before asking Ms. Sweeney.
