High School Drama/Musical Theatre
Students will learn the elements of drama including musical theatre, theory and history. Students will study and perform small scenes, monologues and improvisations. The fall semester is musical with performances of concerts and plays. The spring semester will be spent on small scene performance but is also focused on our musical, which is our main production of the school year. In addition, students have the opportunity to pursue individual acting interests while allowing them the chance to participate in the creative processes of performance and production.
