Students have the opportunity to enroll in both drama classes: Drama 1 and 2.Ai?? Students must complete Drama 1 before moving to Drama 2.

In the Drama 1 course, students read classic plays (such as The Miracle Worker and Brightened Beach Memoirs) and have improvisational games to improve self confidence.
