Advanced Theater (Honors)

Advanced Theater is a one-term, process-to-production course designed to prepare students for two public performances at Beaver. The course begins by focusing on script analysis and character development and then students engage in the rehearsal process to bring the play to fruition with the Advanced Design & Tech and Advanced Costume design classes. Acting roles are open to seniors who have completed all prerequisites. Students entering this class should be highly motivated and interested in an intense and exciting experience that requires a great deal of commitment. This course involves two weeks of rehearsal outside of the regular school day at the end of the process so that the play can be performed in its entirety while  adding technical elements and costumes. Recent productions include The Shape of Things, Durango, The Wooden Heart, She Kills Monsters, What I Did Last Summer, Humpty Dumpty, and Blight.
