The drama program is designed to introduce students to all aspects of the theatrical arts from Ancient Greece to Modern Theater. Students will learn about the history of theater, and the various components of theatrical production. Dramatic literature will be studied, including the plays of Shakespeare. Drama students will participate in a program which focuses on the development of acting and articulation skills, the analysis of theatrical and movie classics, and the enhancement of reading and writing skills.

 

 

During past years, the Drama Department has presented the plays, Arsenic and Old Lace, Annie Jr., and Annie Get Your Gun. This year the performance of Guys and Dolls was a terrific success. The American Experience, a series of vignettes written and performed by the students, is the culminating production of the Drama Department. In addition to performing, drama students will be prepared to be knowledgeable and appreciative members of the audience.
