"Tell me and I will forget.
Show me and I will remember.
Involve me and I will understand."
Chinese Proverb
Brainstorm:
What is Drama and
why do we offer it
here at Hillcrest?
 Drama
provides an outlet for students to
express their emotions, thoughts and
dreams. A student can, if only for a few
moments, become another person, explore a
new role, or try something new in an
environment that encourages those risks and
creativity. Learning Drama can build
confidence!
Drama is a display of emotions, a
representation of relationships and the
portrayal of the different phases of human
life. Dramas can be plays that are
performed for theater, radio or television.
