Theatre I-II are introductory courses to Theatre. Students will explore actor training based on a number of theatre theorists and methodologies. Students will also read fully plays and analyze the playwright's intention before they move on to scene studies, set design, and direc their own short scenes. 

IB Theatre is open as an elective, not only to students pursuing the Honors/IB diploma, but also to any student with a serious interest in theatre. Although the course includes some performance skills, it equally emphasizes play-reading from at least two different cultures, theater history of those cultures, practical play analysis from the director’s point of view, and study of production practices – what it takes to produce a play. The student will examine the art and craft of theatre from all perspectives, in preparation to study academically or to engage in practice as an actor, director, critic, stage manager, or producer. As a course requirement, every student must be involved in at least one production.
