Highlights of the THEATRE ARTS course 2007:

making a realistic breast-plate & sword with cardboard and masking tape.
what it takes to create a character in writing!
being able to think up my own story for a sketch
the imagination involved in creating a set
director's job is to let actors trust him/her that you will not let them make a fool of themselves,
director's attitude & confidence influences the cast & crew! don't let on if your scared!
seeing plays while taking the class opened my eyes to what is going on behind the scenes to make a good play too.
reading other sketches gave more ideas and examples
good to learn a whole lot more vocabulary terms!
Directors need to respect the playwrights. and help actors get over their intimidation.
the fun way we learned the vocabulary (pictionary)

I learned so much new but valuable insights into the workings of theatre. My appreciation and hats off to these folks. Thank you for wisdom and joy and passion for the arts and Jesus. Who you are as a person is a great influence. God Bless you and your family!
