A
flair for the dramatic. The theater program provides students
with an appreciation of the history of drama and an understanding
of contemporary theater. Students develop both an awareness of the
senses necessary to convey moods and emotions and an ability to
apply energy, movement and concentration to a stage role.
Western Reserve Academy's
theater program is committed to bringing as many students as possible
into productions each year, and a variety of performance vehicles
attracts a wide group of interested students.
Courses include dramatic performance,
dramatic technology and public speaking.
