Spring 2021 Theater Production Syllabus

Enjoy a short video from our Spring 2020 show.

With the current challenges in our world, our creative problem

solving skills are more important than ever.  In this class we will develop our communication abilities.  We will become better listeners. We will develop our ability to assess our given circumstances and use what we have in new ways.  

Since we are online, our projects will adjust to our situation but we will work towards the Five Minute Plays as our final project.

​


Five Minute Play Festival 

For the Five Minute Play Festival students will create original plays. We will develop characters, conflict, setting and plot using action and dialogue. We will investigate samples from student writing and published plays. We will seek feedback and revise our work.  Once our plays are complete, we will share them with friends, family and the community.

Check back for how the plays will be presented.

"A broad education in the arts helps give children a better understanding of their world…We need students who are culturally literate as well as math and science literate."

–Paul Ostergard, Vice President, Citicorp

  

“Arts education aids students in skills needed in the workplace: flexibility, the ability to solve problems and communicate, the ability to learn new skills, to be creative and innovative, and to strive for excellence.”

– Joseph M. Calahan, Director of Cooperate Communications, Xerox Corporation

 

“GE hires a lot of engineers. We want young people who can do more than add up a string of numbers and write a coherent sentence. They must be able to solve problems, communicate ideas and be sensitive to the world around them. Participation in the arts is one of the best ways to develop these abilities.”

– Clifford V. Smith, President of the General Electric Foundation

  
"I believe that creativity will be the currency of the 21st century." 
– Gerald Gordon, Ph.D., President/CEO, Fairfax County (Virginia) Economic Development Authority
 

“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people. Unfortunately, that’s too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have lots of dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solution without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.”

–Steve Jobs
