Drama

Upper Elementary

Greetings to all Upper Elementary families and staff! The months have flown by, and although we are very busy working on our performance of “The Lion King Jr , ” I have already begun to experience that end-of-year feeling when the work is over and some of the students move on (6th years) and others move up Things continue to change, and such is the “Circle of Life” that you will have a chance to experience in the Multi-Purpose Building on June 2 at 1:00 pm.

January and February focused on general and advanced drama skills: creativity, character development, context, conflict, courage, critical thinking, curiosity, citizenship, compromise, collaboration, cooperation, and confidence-building, just to name a few In March, we focused on audition techniques for musical theatre (acting, vocal, and dance skills) and held auditions for the show Since then, the students have been working hard to learn songs and choreography, memorize lines, and become real ensembles No production can happen without each person playing an important role, and I have been amazed and impressed by the efforts and commitment of everyone involved–students and staff!

It has been a privilege to work with such creative, innovative, and talented students! Wishing everyone a happy and healthy summer!
