Teacher: Mr. Rickmers
The theatre classes focus on different aspects of theatre from the beginnings of ancient Greece to modern theatre. We also discuss the process of theatre from starting a theatre company to, to the technical elements to striking a show. Among these units we also take on the skills actors use to bring characters to life and what it takes to get into a character. Additionally, we look at and implement a variety of acting techniques and methodologies.
Disney on Broadway School of Excellence--John W Bate Middle School is one of 21 schools nationwide to receive the Disney on Broadway School of Excellence for their exceptional student-led involvement in theatre production. “This program celebrates what happens when students are empowered to lead, create, and collaborate,” said Dr. Jennifer Katona, president of the Educational Theatre Foundation. “By giving young artists the tools to tell these beloved stories, we’re not just supporting school theatre, we’re also investing in the future of the art form.”
