• Drama 1 (All Ages - Must Be Able to Read Proficiently and Supply Costumes for
Performances) - This year- long, foundational course, designed for students with little or no
theatre experience, promotes enjoyment and appreciation for all aspects of theatre.
Coursework focuses on the exploration of theatre literature, performance, historical and
cultural connections, and technical requirements. Improvisation, creative dramatics, and
beginning scene work are used to introduce students to acting and character
development. Incorporation of other art forms in theatre also helps students gain appreciation
for other arts, such as music, dance, and visual art. Drama provides opportunities for students
to develop skills in critical listening and thinking, as well as stage presence, ensemble work,
and aesthetic awareness culminating in periodic classroom and/or public performances. There
will be opportunities to audition for parts in this production course. You will need to be
available during the production session times to audition/participate. Instructor: Rachel Dircks
