4th and 6th grade students have the amazing opportunity to study acting at a young age!  They begin by learning the fundamentals of improvisational acting and transition into scripted acting later in the school year.  Students perform in short acting scenes and a final reader’s theatre style class play at the end of the year.

Middle School Acting:

Middle school students who choose acting as an elective have the opportunity to work on their performance skills at the intermediate level.  The class focuses on acting scenes as the foundation for the development of emotional expression, characterization, and effective vocalization.  Students also participate in a dramatic literature unit and finish the year by performing in a class play.
