Theatre Arts

In the sixth grade, students study theatre history. 他们首先通过讲故事和编造神话来探索戏剧的起源，并学习舞台艺术的基础知识. For the second half of the course, students survey the different periods of drama; from the classical theatre of the Ancient Greeks to the Renaissance theatre of Shakespeare and the Commedia Dell’Arte to the theatre of the Restoration period and ending with a brief look at various movements within the modern theatre. In addition to acquiring a broad working knowledge of theatre history, students work with a team to write and stage a short play.

每年我们都会邀请七年级和八年级的学生参加中学演出的试镜. 一个由经验丰富的教师和高年级学生组成的团队支持演员和工作人员，因为他们参与了制作的各个方面, encouraging students to take risks not only on the stage as performers, but behind the scenes as designers, composers, technicians and managers. This experience requires students to collaborate fully, embrace responsibility, and strive for excellence. Past productions include The Pirates of Penzance, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Fiddler on the Roof.

高中学生试演经典戏剧的演员或工作人员, from the ancient to the modern period. 戏剧学院培养学生全面负责制作的各个方面, 我很高兴看到学生们充满活力地迎接挑战. Past productions include Eumenides, Twelfth Night, Our Town, Waiting for Godot.

每年春天，戏剧学院都会邀请高年级学生参与选择和选角，探讨他们的特殊关切和问题. 通过戏剧实践，他们遇到、审视并体现了他们寻求解决的问题. 他们从这种经历中脱颖而出，不仅能够更好地表达他们的担忧(听众在反馈中见证了这一现象)。, 而且更好地确立了他们作为一个阶层的身份，以及他们作为准备好迎接大学生活的年轻男女的身份. Previous productions include August Wilson’s Fences and Bruce Norris’ Clybourne Park.
