Introduction to Theatre: Character Creation and Theatre Appreciation

In this class, students gain an appreciation for the theatre, its history, literature and performance. Students read and act out scenes and plays from the beginning of time through the Renaissance, focusing on the creation of character, utilizing voice and body movement. Students review dramatic performances in and out of class to develop their ability to thoughtfully analyze the performances of themselves and others. Students also gain practical experience in the theatre by serving as ushers for one of T.C. Williams High School’s dramatic productions.
