I had the same issue with my students this year. I wound up having an awesome Commedia Dell'Arte unit instead. It was great because they could work with masks and focus on physicality.

It can also be expanded or reduced based on your group. ------------------------------ Becky Gil Performing Arts Teacher Willows Preparatory School Redmond, ...

My school has never had a theatre program before so this is our charter ceremony (even though I chartered a troupe in October we ...
