Myths, Morals, Musings, and Mirth

Last week, our students performed a selection of songs, poems, and Greek myths for their parents and members of the community  as a culmination of their theater classes. Participation in theatrical performances develops many essential skills, including verbal and non-verbal communication, memorization, collaboration, working under pressure, self-control, and attention to detail. Theater provides an opportunity for students to delve deeply into the nuances of a story, to participate in socially sophisticated situations,  and to develop empathy as they seek to understand the motivations of their character. It was a wonderful event for our families.
