Grades: 9-12
Duration: 1 Year
Credits: 1/2
Prerequisites: None

Musical Theater Lab is a performance based class that will explore all aspects of theater. Students will perform daily various exercises exploring characters through monologues, scenes, songs, and script study. Students will be required to attend at least two theatrical productions throughout the year and respond in a written evaluation of theatrical and technical elements of the show. In addition to daily performance requirements, students will be required to actively participate in critiquing classroom performances using a performance rubric. Participation in school and community performances will be encouraged but not required. Students will also participate in a final project and performance will be determined during the class. Student performances will be recorded, and individuals will be provided access to watch and evaluate their own performance. Evaluations will be based on specific elements in the unit of study.
