Creative Arrangment

Register for Fall 2023

The Full Story

The Page to Stage/Film program will teach improvisation and dramatic techniques, inspiring the students to create characters, stories, and scripts, while learning the outline of the Hero’s Journey.  Students will write and film their screenplay, which will culminate in a theatrical production (either live or through film) or reading.  The students decide. 

 

The students will use improv to hone their ideas and also perform as a “warm-up act” for the final presentation. 

 

All students will be involved, through writing, tech, performing, or all three. 

 

Students will gain experience in creative writing, acting, improvisation, performing, public speaking, team building, self advocacy, creative expression, and gain self-confidence.
