Reader's Theatre Camp: Spotlight on Fractured Fairy Tales

In this course, students will practice their reading, speaking, and acting skills with fun characters and silly stories. Students will also learn how to create a character considering their character traits, backstory, and objectives. They will explore their creativity by drawing a costume and setting for their character.

She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Theatre and has worked professionally onstage, offstage, and backstage as an actor, director, stagehand, and theatre instructor. She has worked on over 50 theatre productions and loves sharing her passion for acting with her students. 

Learners will be asked to complete a project outside of class creating their own fractured fairy tale character. Each student will be asked to draw a picture of the costume an actor could wear to become their character and the setting their character's story takes place in. They will also be asked to answer questions about their character's traits, objectives, and backstory. The time it takes to complete the project will be entirely dependent on how much effort and creativity each student decides to put into it. 

2 hours 15 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

The play scripts used in this class are from a variety of sources including Plays Magazine, Drama Notebook, and Scholastic. The teacher has gotten special permission to share these plays with students.
