Classroom Experience

Gibbons Drama provides students the opportunity to explore and experience all areas of the theatrical arts, including both performance-based and technical theater classes.

Drama students engage the imagination, the voice, and the body in immersive project-based learning in a classroom environment that is supportive and challenging. In the process, drama students gain valuable skills in the areas of critical thinking, creative problem-solving, collaboration, self-discipline, self-confidence, leadership, and perseverance.

Gibbons Drama Class Offerings:

  • Drama I (freshmen-by audition)
  • Drama II (sophomores)
  • Drama III (juniors, seniors)
  • Drama IV Honors (seniors)
  • Musical Theater Workshop Honors (juniors, seniors-by audition)
  • Four levels of technical theater classes

Detailed information about all Drama Program academic course offerings can be found via the Fine Arts Course Descriptions.

We are an ensemble-driven community of creative leaders
who embrace and share our gifts to glorify God through the art of theater.

DRAMA I PLACEMENT WORSKHOP INFORMATION

Our Drama I Placement Workshop for incoming freshmen (Class of '23) will be take place on Saturday, February 9 from 1:00-5:00 P.M. 

We ask that you plan to be with us for the entire workshop period and that you wear comfortable clothing, as this will be an active day.

You will be participating in a series of  improv exercises and theater games, and get a chance to collaborate and get creative with  some of our drama program student leaders. It's all very low-stress and high-fun. 

This is not an audition--it's a chance for you to get familiar with the culture and community of Gibbons Drama and decide if it's a good fit for you and your family. 

If you have a conflict with the February 9 date--or have any questions about the Gibbons Drama placement workshop or Gibbons Drama please contact drama program artistic director Mr. Kevin Ferguson.
