Drama
The quickening of the blood.
The thunderous applause.
The euphoric elation.
As anyone involved
in the performing arts can tell you, nothing quite matches a successful
live performance. All the hard work has paid off with a generous and
warm response from the audience.
Here at LWCA we believe that an opportunity to participate in the fine arts is essential to a well rounded Christian education and a valuable asset to knowledgeable, active and vital Christian citizens.
Drama in the classroom builds confidence and self knowledge while building valuable communication skills necessary for employment and life. Students are taught to be quick on their feet and nimble in the mind while recognizing the importance of polish and rehearsal for any effective presentation. But overall it is the fun and energy of Drama which keeps the students engaged and learning.
The crowning jewel in our drama program is the annual spring production. This will be the tenth year that LWCA has presented a full length play.
Our previous productions include:
2011 - A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare
2010 - Seussical by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens
2009 - HONK! by George Stiles. Book and Lyrics by Anthony Drewe
2008 - Black Comedy by Peter Shaffer and Everyman by Anonymous
2007 - The Matchmaker by Thorton Wilder
2006 - You Cant Take it With You by Moss Hart and George Kaufman
2005 - The Worst High School Play in the World by William Gleason
2004 - The Mouse that Roared by Christopher Sergal and Leonard Wibberly
2003 - Harvey by Mary Chase
Though the function
of drama and the arts in general is approached with either ambivalence
or indifference, we want to show that a Christians can perform shows
that entertain and endear without the necessity of being either preachy
or a dressed up sermon. God is alive in all aspects of human culture,
including entertaining plays that give people something to laugh at for a
couple of hours.
