11th Grade Theater Course

I am going to try to finish transferring our lesson plan books into a summary here over the next week. If you want to see the rest of his courses, click on high school transcripts. The big teen did a year of theater in the 11th grade. This course was an elective and allowed him to explore another one of his interests.

He had the opportunity to take acting classes with a theater director in our area, Ralph Redpath. He attended 78 hours of classes that ended with three nights of performances. In the classes, he learned to work in small teams and do monologues. He especially liked doing monologues.

In addition to the classes, he also logged 21 hours of rehearsals and performances doing different skits at church. These were all directed by church teachers and written/performed by the church youth group.

Besides performing in theater, he enjoyed attending three live performances, J.B., A Midsummer Night's Dream, and STOMP.  He also saw the following musicals, plays and operas in movie form: 

• Chorus Line
• Sunset Boulevard
• Chicago
• Cyrano
• My Fair Lady
• Fiddler on the Roof
• Hello Dolly
• Rent
