Classes
Drama & Technical Theater
DRAMA
MPA Drama is where the skills from all of the other performing arts classes collide. The longest running class of all the performing arts classes, drama students have learned skills from the other three classes and is the foundational class for all MPA theatrical productions. In December, the drama class performed A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. This May, drama students, in addition to students from other performing arts classes, will perform the Broadway hit Annie! Come see our students as you never have before as all of the characters you know and love from this family favorite!

TECHNICAL THEATER / THEATER MANAGEMENT
Our Technical Theater / Theater Management class is learning stagecraft, stage management and theater management. This semester they learned how to design promotional posters, logos and websites. Scarlett Trieu designed this one!
This class designed the sets for Annie and are in charge of ensuring the show runs smoothly. Give it up for Technical Theater!

CHOIR
​
The Choir class has been working on music from around the world. The languages they have sung in include Hawaiian, Zulu, Spanish, English and a dialect from Cameroon. In addition to singing, all Choir students are learning how to sight read simple melodies. I am Sol (musical pun intended) proud of them!
