reach out to you hi my name is Ross Relic on the Drama teacher at Lincoln Park High School I'm really glad you taking the time today to learn more about summer program but hopefully about all the great programs we offer here at Lincoln Park High School the drama program requires a little bit of explanation I think because it's somewhat unique in that it's a four-year study of drama and that means students are admitted as a fraction glass and remain together as a class throughout the four years building that Community along the way with often very exciting the results each year at focuses on a different aspect of drama in the first year we study performance almost exclusively different ways you can stand in front of an audience and Communications to the public speaker as an actor in a scene as an actor to the bring a monologue as an improviser making it up as you go along as much time on stage freshman year as we can so people are comfort with that let me make use of that in subsequent years in the sophomore year we look at text components of theater and how they help us tell our story so lights that sound costumes how do you prepare yourself to do that mentally and physically in the junior year we divide our time between playwriting and Theater history and in the senior year we studied Direction and production outside of class during the four years full-length Productions I direct to each year every other year we try to do a musically with the vocal music staff and the instrumental music staff and we also participate in various competitions in around City in the audition process which is what most people are wondering about at this stage of the game I'm looking for a particular this year a minute long monologue that you will record because we can't do auditions in person but I do ask you to keep it to a minute please see if you send me a 7 minute video I will watch it exactly one minute of it because that is made my attempt to make it fair to
