Theatre for Young America leads an exciting four-day residency called getting dramatic, originally developed by the Alliance for Drama Education in Hawaii. This award winning program prepares students as performers for life, developing skills in focusing, listening, communicating with poise and confidence, giving and receiving respect and learning “teacher-student friendly” rules for classroom cooperation. Getting dramatic doesn’t teach just “acting”, instead getting dramatic uses drama activities to help students win the “yeses” in life. Two teaching artists provided.
