Drama - Ms. Grosvenor
This year, each level will be taking a look at many aspects of theatre, including: directing, acting, improvisation, character analysis, stagecraft, becoming comfortable in the spotlight, as well as other elements of the subject. The Advanced Drama students will work as directors and mentors to the Intro students, while participating in a higher level of the content.
The most important part of this class is attitude. In order to learn and to be a productive member of these courses, all students must come to class ready to participate, to work, and to support their fellow classmates.
