Dramatics & Theatre Classes

6th grade (Intro. to theatre)

This course is one quarter long and students will have this class every other day (A/B Day Schedule.) Think of this as a "theatre appreciation" course in which students learn about all aspects of theatre arts. Don't love acting? No problem! We do MUCH more than acting in this course. 

7th grade (Dramatics)

This course is one semester long and students will have this class every other day (A/B Day Schedule). In this course, students dive a bit deeper into theatre arts subjects than they did in 6th grade. 7th graders study theatre performance, directing, designing, theatre history, and playwriting.  

8th Grade (Dramatics)

This course is one semester long and students will have this class every other day (A/B Day Schedule). This advanced theatre course prepares students to continue with theatre arts at the high school level. In this class, students will begin applying their learned skills from 6th and 7th grade theatre.
