YEYAE 20 - YAE: Drama through History (Grade 5-7)

What do Ancient Greece, Queen Elizabeth, and opera all have in common? Drama of course! Take a walk through history with an interactive exploration of drama. Create a mask and see how comedy and tragedy were performed in ancient Athens. Explore the possibilities of theater sets and how they compare to The Globe Theater. You will get the chance to be a performer as you read scenes from different plays, be a critic as you watch selections from DVD's, and be a playwright as you create your own ideas for a production. A field trip to tour backstage the University's Pioneer Theater Compay stage will also be a highlight you won't want to miss.
