Drama
Our drama program was established in 1995. Over the years we have introduced the children to a wide range of great literature. All our plays are original school productions, inspired by or adapted from Greek Mythology, from Shakespeare, and from motifs and stories that have been treasured repeatedly and through many cultures, in books, music and on the stage.
Our drama program involves all the children in our school. Everyone participates, learns about literature, and comes to appreciate the transcendent power of teamwork. Our productions are inventive and fun; the emphasis is on what children learn through the rehearsal and practice stages, not on what happens during their one performance. Parents have an opportunity to play important roles in the rehearsal and presentation process, and in responding to their child's spontaneous rendition of songs and play narratives at home. Everyone revels in each performance night.
Through involvement in the performing arts, your children learn public speaking, expand their vocabulary, and learn to work in a group; they build their literacy, enhance their creativity, develop their self-esteem, and grow in their understanding of self and others. The performance night also builds camaraderie and friendship among parents through their participation and efforts. Not the least of which is how your children love to perform for their parents and friends!
