Theatre Arts, as a part of St. George’s Arts Program, offers a wide array of performance, technical, analytical, and creative courses spanning both stage and screen. Theatre Arts courses encourage students to develop their awareness and use the elements of Drama, Technical Theatre, Film Study and Film Creation to invent works that are related to their personal interests and experiences. In these courses, students will experience being a performer, audience, playwright, technician, designer, and director. Through the process of taking on these roles, students develop and express empathy for people in a wide range of situations. They also develop the ability to interpret and comment on a range of works, activities, and evaluate their own and each others’ creative work.
