HONORS ACTING

TH11 - 1 Elective Credit - Full Year

Students must audition for this class. Auditions will be held before students register for classes.

This class serves as an ensemble-focused deep dive into theatrical production and formal acting training. The fall will be spent reading and discussion of plays as well as rehearsing monologues and scenes. Once a play has been selected for production, the class will focus on staging, character work, and rehearsal for a performance in mid-March. The spring will focus on improvisation, expanding audition repertoire, and devising new work, with the intention of producing a student showcase in late May. Open to students in grades 10-12, enrollment is based on a successful audition and is by permission of the instructor.
