    Theatre education is fundamental and is necessary for the growth and development of today's students. Whether you plan to be a lawyer, doctor, musician, scientist, or pro athlete, you will need to know how to communicate, problem-solve, think creatively, and work as a team. Taking a theatre class can help you with all of these skills and more!  There are NINE (9) different theatre classes in addition to a Public Speaking class. Classes are a 1/2 semester each and meet the Fine Arts and/or Elective requirement. Most classes are open to grades 9-12 and Studio II & Directing can be taken for HONORS OPTION. Those looking to direct as a senior, please plan your schedule well as there are many prerequisites for Directing. And YES... you can take your gen-ed requirements, other Fine Arts classes and still fit a theatre class in your schedule!! There is a theatre class waiting for YOU!
