Theatre Arts

comedy and tragedy

The Introduction to Theatre Arts elective requires focus, discipline, dedication to learning the craft of Theatre Arts, and a willingness to be part of an ensemble (TEAM).

Students will explore the nature of Theatre in its many forms: Shakespeare and the classics as well as contemporary pieces from plays, musicals, etc.

Among many skills to be developed, students will:

  • Memorize, analyze, perform and work as an ensemble/team.
  • Analyze and evaluate works of Theatre and artistic expression from various eras of dramatic art.
  • Analyze the dimensions of characters, plots, setting, and themes from a variety of dramatic works.
  • Develop and execute artistic interpretations of theatrical texts in the roles of playwright, actor, director, designer, etc.
  • Learn improvisation and develop and create skits.

The class collaborates closely with the Stage Crew, especially in preparation and staging of the productions this year.
