The theatre arts emphasize the use of the intellect as well as the development of sensitivity, creativity, and the capacity to make reasoned, aesthetic decisions while exploring the range of human experience. As language is a primary component of drama, students develop poise, confidence, ease, and versatility in verbal presentation. There are several ways to enter into theatre arts, but always these courses result in successful interactions, performances, and products.


HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION:
Theatre and Performing Arts is an elective under Fine Arts. A student must earn 10 credits in two out of three selective elective areas (Fine Arts, World Languages and Applied Academics).
