Drama
Drama classes offer students an opportunity to explore all aspects of stage acting, both individual and in groups. They learn to express themselves through pantomime, improvisation, storytelling, and monologues. Students build a foundation of self-expression in a safe, creative environment.
Students are also offered courses to further develop their acting technique - working with scenes and character building and to develop their theatre skills by writing plays.
The Drama Club presents student productions twice a year. All SPX students are invited to audition. They do not have to be enrolled in a drama course to audition.
