Drama-Senior Year Performing Arts-The first half of the
year is focused on play analysis, which is required in becoming an
accomplished director. Play analysis class is designed to hone the student’s
skill of understanding how plays work. This is essential for theatre
practitioners. The ultimate goal is to develop the capacity to look at any
play and analyze its structure, form and nuances before bringing the
individual power of interpretation to take the script from “page to stage”.
In addition we will continue honing acting skills by performing scenes from
the plays we read and other materials
