Theater is a fun way to learn more about cooperation, listening to direction, impulse control, focus, public speaking, and confidence. This class explores some of the basic skills needed to perform with an ensemble. We'll learn how to warm up our bodies and voices before performing, how to move on stage, how to read stage directions, and how to work together to tell a cohesive story.

This class will go beyond a basic drama class and focus on the production process from start to finish: from auditions to production. Students will learn the basics of an audition process, the rehearsal process (performance side and the technical side), and the final production. The class will present 1-2 showings of a performance of a one-act play. This class is open to anyone interested in acting or interested in the technical side of theatre. This class will build on concepts taught in previous years, so returning students will continue to develop their acting and production skills while learning new plays and scene work. Students will need to bring a 3 ring binder for the production class. Students/Parents are responsible for providing their own costumes. Please note, some outside of class rehearsal time will be required.
