DramaIn drama, students engage in creative, collaborative performances. From auditions through opening night, students develop as actors who communicate through text, movement, and song. Students explore scene development, acting, dance, and choreography, culminating in a live musical production in the fall and one-acts in the spring. Senior students also have the opportunity to direct their own production. For more information, contact Theatre Director, Elisa Van Duyne, at [email protected].
