Course Overview
This course introduces children ages 8-17 to the fundamentals of musical theater through the lens of the elements of drama. Students will explore the key aspects of theater, including character, plot, and theme, while drawing inspiration from artists influenced by Martin Luther King, Jr. Through engaging lessons and activities, students will develop their performance skills and deepen their understanding of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and its impact on visual and performing art as well as society
