The students will use the fundamentals of acting as well as improvisation and theatre games to create a piece of theatre for performance. This will provide the student with an invaluable performance experience. It will also reinforce the following aspects of theatre: auditioning, theatre games, improvisation, acting technique, scene study and character development. Additionally, the students will be involved in various technical elements of a theatrical production including costuming and props. The class will take a play (material will be chosen to suit the students) from the page and go thru all stages of production in preparation for the final public performance. There will be one public performance on March 3rd at 7:30pm.
