“The purpose of drama is not to define thought but to provoke it"
Drama presents a multitude of circumstances for the school and community to experience the skills of drama, including its capacity to advance the knowledge of the human condition, understand literature, expand communication and acting skills, enhance self-confidence, and support community. Diverse dramatic productions may entertain, inform, and promote critical thinking skills and creative outlets.

Paper
Pen-Black
Pencil with eraser

Makeup work must be complete within two days of return to school. It is up to the student to come to me to get makeup work. If it is not made up, it will result in a zero for that grade. If a student knows they will be out prior to the absence, they must get work before absence and turn it in before absence.
Any student caught cheating, including plagiarizing, will receive a 0 and a detention.
Any student not completing his/her homework will be given a work detention as there is plenty of class time to do homework.
I am looking forward to a fun and rewarding year. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school at (402) 645-3326, at my home (402) 806-6876, or via email at
