Reader's theater and student written short plays

For the first half of the year in drama class the students work on acting skills. This year the junior high also worked on Reader's theater and the high school class wrote their own short plays in small groups. The students performed these for the parents in January. Tristan played Otter in a reader's Theater version of the Wind in the Willows. Trevor played a security guard in his group's play. It was terrible winter weather for driving on that January evening but we made it safe and sound and it was worth it to see the boys perform and know that drama makes them happy.
