The Drama Troupe provides an in-depth experience with acting, voice and movement, characterization and general performance skills (makeup, costuming or props).
The instructional theme is student's ability to interact with peers and the environment while interpreting an author's words. The children engage in various theater performance activities and read from a printed script during the audition. The group consists of 10-15 students.
