LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! Performance Opportunites for Students

DRAMA As a School for the Performing Arts, the act of performing is a vital component in the curriculum for students at all levels. Students are given age and experience-appropriate opportunities to share their talents with an audience. Students are coached in the basics and begin by performing before their peers in a classroom situation. More advanced students take part in weekly recitals and presentations held at the New Brunswick Community College. These events are open to the public. Drama students move out of the classroom to perform in more public venues in the town squares and local theatre stages. Upper level drama students present full length plays in a dinner theatre setting.
