Theatre
Theatre is another elective that is offered to all grades, taught by Julie Meeusen. In 6th grade, you are introduced to what theatre is. You will mainly get comfortable with talking and acting in front of the class. In 7th grade you will start to work on vocal and facial expression through activities and games. In 7th grade you will also use a lot of technology for things like script rewrites, movies, slideshows, silent movies and presentations. In eight-grade theatre you learn the history behind theatre, work on projects, movie trailers, scene writing, and have a shakespeare unit. The theatre teacher worked backstage at Milwaukee Repertory. She was the stage crew advisor of the Arrowhead play “Murder Takes the Veil”. She is also a Shakespeare fan.

Famous quotes containing the word theatre:
“... the theatre demanded of its members stamina, good digestion, the ability to adjust, and a strong sense of humor. There was no discomfort an actor didn’t learn to endure. To survive, we had to be horses and we were.”
—Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
“Glorious bouquets and storms of applause ... are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys. But to move an audience in such a role, to hear in the applause that unmistakable note which breaks through good theatre manners and comes from the heart, is to feel that you have won through to life itself. Such pleasure does not vanish with the fall of the curtain, but becomes part of one’s own life.”
—Dame Alice Markova (b. 1910)
“Make them laugh, make them cry, and back to laughter. What do people go to the theatre for? An emotional exercise.... I am a servant of the people. I have never forgotten that.”
—Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
