Middle School Drama  
 

The Middle School Theatre Arts elective is a one-semester course offered in sixth, seventh, and eighth grades.  In the sixth grade Theatre Arts elective students focus on the history and progression of theater through the ages, basic theater vocabulary, writing plays as a collaborative process, and everything involved in producing a play. In the seventh/eighth grade Theatre Arts elective students explore the different genres of theater and the collaborative nature of theater arts and playwriting.  They also expand their performance abilities with a deeper knowledge of character development, a solo monologue project, and a movie project.

Seventh and eighth grade students also have the opportunity to participate in the annual Middle School musical for which the school brings in a professional director/choreographer.  This is an excellent opportunity for students to explore their dance, vocal, acting, and technical talents.
