Description: Taught in French. The Middle School Theater Club is an exciting extracurricular activity where students can explore the world of theater and drama. This club offers a unique opportunity for students to improve their language skills while engaging in creative and expressive activities. We encourage all students who have an interest in theater, a passion for the French language, or simply a curiosity to try something new, to join our club. No prior acting experience is necessary—just a willingness to participate and have fun!

• Develop Acting Skills: Through various exercises and activities, students will learn the fundamentals of acting, including voice modulation, body language, and emotional expression.

• Since all instructions and performances are in French, students will naturally improve their French vocabulary, comprehension, and speaking abilities. It's a fun and engaging way to practice French outside the traditional classroom setting.

• Collaborate and Create: Theater is a team effort! Students will work together to create and perform scenes, fostering a sense of community and teamwork. We hope to present 2 shows, one in December maybe and one in May. These performances are a fantastic opportunity for parents to see their children’s progress and enjoy a delightful show!

• Performing in front of an audience helps students build self-confidence.

• Appreciate French Culture: Many of the plays and scenes performed are from French literature, giving students a deeper appreciation of Francophone culture.

• Supportive Environment: Our club is a safe space where students can express themselves freely and support each other's growth.

• Cultural Exposure: Students get a chance to delve into French plays, stories, and traditions, enriching their cultural understanding.
