Theatre classes will focus upon performance and creative drama activities which allow students to develop and practice applicable skills.  Students will learn about the conventions of theatre (drama, acting, history) as well.  Students will have little written homework; therefore it is very important that they be IN CLASS every day.  

My primary goal in teaching middle school theatre is not to produce professional results, but to encourage self-exploration and creativity in a supportive and safe environment.  I would like my students to leave my class with greater self-confidence and awareness of his/her talents and abilities.  I encourage creative problem solving, teamwork, leadership and critical thinking in these classes.
