Parents, here are the descriptions for next year’s elective classes. It will be their elective for the entire year. Later this week, they will be asked to list their elective preferences, and Q2 will do their best to honor all requests.

Here are the choices and brief descriptions of the classes:

• Drama – Step into the spotlight with our Drama elective! Designed to nurture self-confidence, unleash creativity, and foster teamwork, this performance-oriented class is a stage where students shine. Delve into the art of acting and scriptwriting as you explore the fundamentals and hone your skills. Throughout the semester, you’ll embark on a captivating journey through various drama activities. From powerful monologues to in-depth character analysis, exhilarating improvisation sessions to crafting compelling scripts, every moment is an opportunity to grow as a performer and storyteller. But the stage isn’t just for solo acts. Collaborate with your peers in scene work and discover the magic of ensemble performance. As the semester unfolds, you’ll prepare to dazzle audiences at our highly anticipated drama night, where your talent takes center stage. Yet, the drama experience extends beyond acting alone. Dive into the diverse facets of theater, from the intricacies of directing to mastering theater etiquette. Unleash your creativity in set design, transform with costume and makeup, and learn the art of captivating audiences through publicity. In this dynamic elective, the stage is yours to explore, create, and captivate—an unforgettable journey into the world of theater awaits!
