Drama

 

    There are precious students with varying shades of drama experience, ranging from zero to GCT veterans!  They have all worked like troopers on their body, vocals, and acting skills in class.

  

Lisa Smith, Teacher

 

     What a thrill to begin my 27th year of teaching in a brand new school!  I am actually returning to my roots and coming full circle to where I began as a Drama and English teacher at Greenwood High School way back in 1981.  When I left there to teach 4th grade at Pinecrest Elementary (and Gifted and Talented 3-5 after that), everyone assumed I had finally lost my mind!  Not true- I absolutely loved working with those age students.  Their energy and simple joy for learning new things was very rewarding. 

     In my mind, I know I would stay there until I retired.  Not true again- the call to help design an arts-infused curriculum at ACTS really tugged at my theatre background.  So, here I am, ready to tackle the challenges of this exciting new venture.  Teaching has really been an ever-evolving journey for me.  I can’t wait to get started creating and learning with this outstanding group of students!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.

It was only when I realized how actors have the power to move people that I decided to pursue acting as a career.
