My Project

Here at Bunker Hill, we are starting our very first Drama Club and crew. The goal of the Drama club is to help educate our scholars on the ins and outs of the theatre. By establishing a drama club our students will learn basic acting and drama techniques, as well as lessons in voice projection, monologue writing, and building spontaneity.

Exposure to theatre arts can help students with personal expression.

Scholars will learn how to utilize their imagination and creativity to bring ideas to life on the stage. By portraying characters, students learn to understand empathy by learning to place themselves in the shoes of others.

Our drama club will not only build their communication and public speaking skills but their confidence as well. Learning drama from an early age can lead to unlimited numbers of positive benefits to children. Help us unlock our scholars untapped potential!
