General Drama (9-week course)

In the General Drama course, the primary goal is to meet students at their comfort level on stage and help them to grow. Following the GA Standards of playing roles by developing character, voice, and movement, we write short scenes and perform them in class. Improvisation helps build character and confidence and adds to the element of fun. This class provides a safe environment for students to improve their skills as public speakers, appropriate audience members, and collaborative creators.

Year-Long Drama

There are two types of year-long drama courses offered at Liberty: Performance Drama and Musical Theater. Students in both classes learn the GA performance standards in the context of auditioning for, rehearsing, and performing in public performances. Auditions are held in class and every student in the class is cast in the show. Rehearsals are held in class, and when students are not on stage they are observing to learn valuable skills they can use. The only time commitment outside of class is the four after-school dress rehearsals leading up to the performances. These classes not only teach students performance skills, they also provide a sense of empathy and ensemble.
