Since the summer of 2009, different types of drama classes have been offered

for 4th through 8th graders to introduce them to the theatre.

Students learn about all aspects of the theatre...

History and traditions

Playwrights and their plays

Playwriting

The American musical theatre heritage

Different styles of acting

Theatre terminology and

Technical skills

And while students learn what it takes to produce a play and/or musical,

they also learn valuable life lessons they can use outside the realm of theatre:

COMMITMENT

CONFIDENCE

DETERMINATION

GRACE

HUMILITY

PATIENCE

RESOURCEFULNESS and

A SENSE of the COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT
