Drama is a course designed to help students develop acting skills by participating in theater activities such as improvisation, scenes, monologues, set design, and production.  Students will also learn about the origins of drama, study significant plays and playwrights, practice voice, movement, and characterization.  Throughout the year we will work on various productions that will include all members of the class. These productions will require evening and weekend work.

No drama production would be complete without the efforts of those who work behind the scenes and help make the stage come alive. This course helps students learn and develop skills related to stagecraft, from lighting and sound, to set design and construction. At the conclusion of the course, a major production will be held that will include all members of the class. This production will require evening and weekend work.
