The social, religious, philosophical, political, and environmental factors of any society can be addressed through theatre. While theatre serves a vital function as a means of experiencing the past, it can also enrich the quality of the present, and provide insight into the future. Because of this students of varying backgrounds can benefit from this instruction. Learning in the Friends Academy Theatre Department will be structured through a comprehensive Pre 3-12 curriculum. This curriculum will be focused through five learning process components.
Students are able to use sensory experiences to comprehend.
Students are able to apply their knowledge of concepts, elements, principles, theories and processes. Students are able to develop informed opinions about the theater and the relationship of theater to the histories, cultures, and environments of the world's people.
