WRITE YOUR OWN PLAY – Rising Grades 6th-12th

Explore the basic principles of acting and the theatre through exercises that encompass the ideas of stage directions, articulation, and movement.  Students will use their imaginations to develop characters and creative writing skills to create stories and scripts.  Students will be asked to work together to script and perform a final production show for their parents.  All students will engage in both sides of the production process, giving them a fuller understanding of the ins and outs of a stage show.  Some written homework is required. The last part of the final class will include a “sharing” for friends and families.
