Unofficial Course Description:
This year we are going to do a lot of reading, thinking, talking and writing about Theatre and Performing Arts impact on other subjects such as English, math, science, physical education, and History. I know many, if not all of you, have probably given this little, if any, thought, and that's okay. But if you stick with the class, you'll be giving it quite a bit. I can tell you not all of you will love getting up on stage and performing but you will start your first step into finding your comfort zone with public speaking. You will also be able to become a more critical thinker broadening your views on the world and finding your own voice as a person.
You will also be able to enjoy and appreciate the amount of time, energy and work people who work in the entertainment business put in. You will learn the technical language of Performing Arts. You will also lean the need for Arts in any great civilization as Shakespeare said “To hold a mirror up to life.”
