Theater Drama
The Theater Drama program is a literature/acting experience intended for older students to explore classical or contemporary dramatic or comedic play. Each semester students will explore and evaluate various literary elements within a given work. With that knowledge they will explore various emotions, analyze and produce proper character development, and understand and perform various nuances of engaging and entertaining story telling. There will be some lecture, reading, and assignments as part of this experience.

A Few Rules and Guidelines
1. Mr. Jim absolutely does not permit any disrespectful questioning/verbal abuse/etc. for unhappy parents or children in the event they don't receive the part/solo/role they hoped for. We try to create a team/family atmosphere. In that arena, the directors/decision makers have a very hard job to do. The expectations is for all students to embrace their role and understand we are all important pieces of our story telling journey. Likewise, any ego trips from those who receive leading roles/solos will very quickly receive a stern reprimand. If it persists they will be replaced.
2. How to get a better role next time? Actors at any level (including the pros) are ALWAYS auditioning for their next role. In small theater, talent/ability is only about half of the consideration. Were you prepared, on-time, invested, a good team player, respectful, show growth, etc during the last production? If you answer no to any of these then it is harder for decision makers to offer bigger opportunities.
