This course is an option for older students as a prerequisite to auditioning for a Mainstage production instead of taking Acting 1 and 2 for the 7th and 8th graders. There is no class prerequisite for actors in high school. This class is designed to refine performance skills, enhance character development, and build confidence on stage. Students will take part in exercises that will help them learn to bring characters to life. The class will also include audition preparation, helping students master monologues and how to act while singing. At the end of the course, students will be equipped to take on auditions for both plays and musicals. Completion of this course is dependent on accruing no more than two absences.
