Without written scripts and playwrights theater would not be anything it is today. Our English Department focuses on the lives of playwrights, plays, and writing your own skits. Our students are given biographies, autobiographies, and plays of playwrights such as Tennessee Williams, Thorton Wilder, and of course William Shakespeare. This allows for a closer look at their personal lives and helps the student to figure out things about themselves that may hold interest to them and their ideas.
Students are given assignments to write monologues, skits, one acts, even full plays. They are encouraged to take these works and form them into live performances for the entire student body. They will receive constructive criticism that will motivate them to revise, rewrite, and choose which area of theater they would like to be involved with after school.
