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
