Theatre Arts II is a performance-based course emphasizing ensemble work. Students will study improvisational theatre, musical theater, acting techniques, modern drama, ensemble building, theatre history, audition repertoire, classical theatre, and children’s theatre.
In a nutshell, Theatre II is a place where students come together as an ensemble and - through theatre - learn about themselves and the world they live in.
