Magnet Drama
The theater arts program centers round the development of the following skills: creative writing, performing, evaluating, interpersonal communication, critical and
constructive thought, problem solving, interpretation, judgment, discrimination, learning and research. Ten facets that encompass the curriculum and enable students to
achieve these skills are theater history, improvisation, play writing, acting, non-verbal pantomime, verbal communication, technical theater, theater management, rehearsals, and
productions.
The student will explore relationships and gain insights to the world around them. Students are encouraged to attend local and district workshops to improve their
acting skills. The theater students perform in venues within school and community, culminating with an end of the year theater production.
