Cathedral School Drama

As part of the Humanities Vault (clustered with art and music classes), the drama class is offered to Cathedral students beginning in first grade. The purpose of the drama class is to introduce young students to the world of theatre, though its benefits reach far beyond acting. As students read, memorize, and perform adaptations of various classical stories, they develop important life skills such as public speaking, physical expression, reading/subtext comprehension, and the ability to work in an ensemble. Academically, the experience of physically embodying a character brings the story to life as students learn about characterization, plot structure, mood, and other literary elements.
