West Virginia College- And Career-Readiness Standards For The Arts – Theatre Education

The study of theatre provides students with the skills to perform, create, and appreciate theatre. In theatre, students study, adapt, and create stories for performance; identify contemporary styles of theatre/drama and depict characters in them; identify elements of technical theatre; and demonstrate technical theatre knowledge and skills. Communication and collaboration skills are developed as students discuss multiple interpretations for production ideas and collaborate to uncover how the non-dramatic art forms enhance a theatre production. Through exploration of diverse texts, students will study the influence of culture, historical period, and context on the creation and interpretation of theatre.
