Drama is both an exploratory class and performance class. Students will learn the basics of stage performance: Observation, Concentration and Focus, Physicalization, Voice and Improvisation. Students will participate in stage, costume and make-up design. The class affords several opportunities for performance for small informal audiences and large-scale productions. A willingness to participate as well as a commitment to rehearsal schedules is essential for success in the class.

Study Support is a class designed to teach students study skills and to provide assistance with academic work. Students use the time to work on class work, tests, and/or projects. Students are required to fill out and maintain an assignment sheet/planner. Students are graded on whether or no their planner is filled out and for their work performance during class time.
