Is it true—acting, directing and playwriting are all in one course? Can Grade 11 Drama contain so

much? Will you really be a playwright who will see her work performed by the end of the year? This

is the course that allows you to express yourself in script form and hear your dialogue performed by

your peers and possibly by the Havergal community. You will look at what makes a good play from

the viewpoint of actors and directors. Additionally, through different exercises, each student will find

her own avenue into the world of playwriting: what draws you into the play, the story, the people, the

message or any and all of the above? Throughout the year, different professionals will come to our

class and share their wisdom about different aspects of theatre. Master classes are created just for us.

Come act, direct, write and enjoy.

Here it is, the culminating Drama class at Havergal! This is the class were you get to do it all. You

want to act? You’re involved in two public performances, a docudrama and a one-act-play. You want

to direct? You can direct a one-act-play and parts of your docudrama. You want to write? You get

the picture. As well as all the tried and true Drama favourites, the element of design comes into our

curriculum. Each of you will be challenged to push yourselves far beyond where you thought you could

go, and you will be proud of the outcome. It may be hard work, but it’s a lot of fun. After all, there is a

reason we call them “plays.”
