Theater Arts 1 (7^th/8^th): This semester-long introductory course exposes both 7th and 8th grade students to the disciplines of movement, voice, and improvisation. Students will perform individual monologues as well as several group projects on various themes covered in class. This class places great emphasis on trust, team building, and learning through games.

Theater Production (7^th/8^th) (7^th period class only) (Sem 1/ Sem 2): This class is offered as a 7th period class for students working as cast or crew in the production for that semester. Rehearsal techniques are studied and used to reinforce material introduced in Theatre Arts classes. All cast and crew are also introduced to basic technical theatre concepts such as lighting, sound, and run crew. After the show has closed, students design their own productions to be used as showcases for 6th grade previews, Open House, and other performances during the school year. This is an AUDITION-ONLY class for both Fall and Spring.
