Creating a middle school drama club with a melodrama
I just returned from a class at Newton Middle School in Littleton. My daughter was playing a dramatic role as an attorney trying British soldiers in the Boston Massacre.
After the class, I went to the Gifted and Talented teacher and asked about creating a drama club. She was very excited. I enjoy working with middle school students. They have a definite personality of their own and a unique enthusiasm.
I decided to design a melodrama club. I enjoy teaching melodrama to middle school students because it takes all of the energy that they have and telling them to let go! The unique charactors are fun and the audiences that come to watch love it.
If I decide to go ahead with this full speed, their are two melodramas that I have been waiting to direct. I have put together links to the shows and also have fun links to other sites.
