Theatre Classes at AHS
The benefits of both Theatre Arts and Technical Theatre are numerous. Students gain skills that are relevant beyond the theatre world. Students in these classes:
● Gain leadership skills through collaborative projects
● Develop a confident voice for public speaking and presenting
● Experience varied perspectives
● Build creative problem solving skills
● Destress while still being productive
● Build relationships with students they might not otherwise interact with
● Experience active lessons and hands-on projects
