Classes
In the Horizon High School Drama Program, we offer a variety of drama classes to suit anyone's desires.
THEATRE PRODUCTION & STAGECRAFT
Theatre Production & Stagecraft is our technical theatre program here at Horizon. Students will learn the basics of everything behind the scenes in any show in this class. Students will learn about building complex scenery, various aspects of design, costumes, lighting, rigging, sound, makeup, stage management, and more. Students will also partake in different team-building exercises that build trust and leadership skills. Students will also help with our mainstage productions in various ways during class time in this class.
DRAMA 1-2
Drama 1-2 is the entry-level drama program at Horizon. The focus of this first-year drama class is to introduce you to the art of theatre in every aspect. We will perform and study scenes, history, stages, character development, and playwriting. You are encouraged to participate in the after-school program by being on a crew, attending workshops, retreats, and other related outings, and auditioning for everything you can.
DRAMA 3-4
Drama 3-4 and 5-6 are very collaboration-based classes, taking place within the same period in the bell schedule. In Drama 3-4 / 5-6, students will learn drama's more complex aspects and perform and massively build collaboration-based skills. This class is also the period in which students will perform a Murder Mystery in the BlackBox theatre in the first semester and host a Renaissance Festival during the second semester.
DRAMA 5-6 /7-8
Drama 5-6/ 7-8 is the highest level theatre course that will focus on character development, ensemble building, directing, and play analysis. In addition, you will work on monologues. I will treat you all as if you plan to major in theatre in college and expect you to push yourself to new heights. This class is your last year to excel and prepare for the next step. You taking this class tells me you are serious about the craft at some level.
