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:
“Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans—which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambesi.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Art is for [the Irish] inseparable from artifice: of that, the theatre is the home. Possibly, it was England made me a novelist.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“As in a theatre the eyes of men,
After a well-graced actor leaves the stage,
Are idly bent on him that enters next,
Thinking his prattle to be tedious,
Even so, or with much more contempt, men’s eyes
Did scowl on gentle Richard.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
