Character Development and D&D

Go on an epic quest while strengthening your acting skills in this remote drama class that pairs drama with the collaborative fantasy storytelling game Dungeons and Dragons. Using the D&D model, you’ll create a hero with a backstory. Then your drama instructor will guide you on how to bring that character to life using acting techniques, improv skills, and game play. Finally, we’ll put our new skills to the test as we play a virtual game of Dungeons and Dragons together.

Jukebox Musical

A Jukebox Musical uses popular songs we already know rather than an original score. Using the students’ favorite songs as inspiration we’ll write our own Jukebox musical. We’ll choose a song list, create a story and characters to go around the songs, and use acting, singing, and dancing skills to bring the new musical to life!
