Drama I
In Drama I, we will explore the essential question, "What is theatre?" Throughout the semester, we will learn about the different roles people can play in the theatre, stage movement, theatre etiquette, pantomime, improvisation, and building our acting skills in scripted scenes. Drama I will contain performance elements that will require participation on behalf of all students.
