    stand out from the rest. The theatre department‚ overseen by Michelle Bayer‚ can be described as a whirlwind of activity‚ with 10 official productions each year. My group researched it for the education unit‚ but the majority of them were unfamiliar with the activity‚ and I felt the overall presentation was unrepresentative of what high school theatre is. It can be characterized‚ primarily‚ by an abundance of drama‚ both in the acting sense‚ and in the social sense. Theatre kids are infamous for their

    had never had the opportunity to attend a musical theatre master class. On the other hand‚ I am extremely accustomed to dancer master classes and I found it interesting to compare and contrast the way classes are held. Each Friday the dancer department takes a master class with a different professional dancer. Besides the specific dance genre‚ the classes possess numerous similarities to each other. This was not the case for the two musical theatre master classes I attended this year. I found it intriguing
