Take Theatre Arts 1 If...
You have a shy, introverted personality, especially around people you don't know very well. Maybe you even have stage fright but you are looking for a way to grow your confidence bit by bit in a fun & comfortable environment!
You have a loud, energetic, outgoing or comedic personality and you love a chance to be in the spotlight!
You have ZERO experience in theatre but you'd like to try something new and different
You DO have past theatre experience, maybe in middle or elementary school, or in summer/afterschool drama camps, and you loved it and are ready to try out High School Theatre!
You would like to make new friends in a fun environment with lots of teambuilding and theatre games that get you up on your feet and moving!
You need your required 1 Fine Arts credit to graduate and Theatre sounds like an interesting option!
You would like a class that challenges you DURING class time by teaching you how to act, direct, playwrite, design, do improv and more...but with very few homework assignments or big exams. This is a PERFORMANCE based class where most of your points come from getting up during class and performing. As long as you put in your best effort during each class, and try each and every warmup and theatre exercise along the way.... you CAN earn a high grade!
