Description
Students will explore the historical and contemporary canon of dramatic literature written specifically for the field of TYA - Theatre for Young Audiences. Using both original dramatic work and published adaptations of award-winning narrative books for children and teens, students will activate pieces of several plays using specific teaching techniques and practices for engaging preteens and teens. These concentrations will help prepare students for working in professional theatre for young audiences, youth theatre programming, and educational outreach projects in public schools or community environments.
