Theatre I
This introductory theatre course will focus on creative expression through theatrical performance and technical design. Students will be introduced to different acting techniques,  movement & body control, and proper vocalization methods. Students will also learn parts of the stage, how to develop/analyze their characters, and also how to work with other actors on the stage (duet scenes). Students will also explore historical and cultural studies of theatre. 
​
*Theatre I students will put on their own 6th Grade Showcase at the end of the year.
 
*Students in Theatre I & II are encouraged, but not required, to audition for the Spring Musical! Please see Mrs. Martin if you are interested.*

Theatre II
This intermediate theatre course is an extension and further exploration of the concepts and training covered in Theatre I.

Levels of expectations and approaches will vary depending on the assignment and the class.

Theatre Playbill
The prerequisite for this course is Theatre Arts I and teacher approval. To be admitted into Playbill, you must first complete an audition. Playbill Auditions will be held at the end of February alongside Musical Auditions. (Your musical audition can count toward your Playbill audition!) 

**AUDITION REQUIREMENTS: 60 seconds of a comedic or dramatic monologue**
 
Playbill class will build upon the foundations of Theatre I and II by furthuring acting technique, stage performance skills, and technical skills, but we will add on explorations of musical/play production in depth through devising, designing, self application, and public performance.
 
*Playbill students are required to audition and participate in all productions as well as the annual UIL One Act Festival.*
