Drama
The Drama program at the Community School focuses on the process of learning so that students can build confidence and are inspired to take creative risks. The acting classes begin with improvisation, body movement, and theater games, and progress to monologue, scene work, script analysis, and character development. The program strongly emphasizes process over product, creating a learning environment in which students are free to explore and work without fear of judgment.
