Beginning Drama satisfies the VAPA graduation credit when taken both semesters. In the first semester, students will learn basic drama concepts and history of drama. They also will learn designing and producing dramatic performances typical of live theater. Because students in the second semester are not always the same as they are in first semester, the lessons follow a similar syllabus, but with different perspectives to give the first semester students more to think about.
