Drama
The Shannon Forest Christian School (SFCS) Drama Department in the Upper School presents two performances each year. Students are instructed in proper methods to prepare for a theatrical performance as actors on stage and as crew members backstage. Performances are held in the SFCS Activity Center.
Upper School students also celebrate the Renaissance Era with an annual Renaissance Day. The day begins with a Renaissance lunch that leads into activities to illustrate life and times in the Renaissance period.
Drama day occurs in the spring for 5th Grade students in which the High School Drama students conduct workshops to introduce various forms of theatre.
Our Junior High Drama class is an introduction to Theatre Arts. Students study theatre and various acting techniques. These skills will be practiced during class and students will perform short selections during class.
Competitive Speech and Debate begins with a basic overview of the events for competition, those that are individual and debate related. The aspects of logical reasoning and argumentation are studied, as well as the basics of good communication. Students are to research and present arguments on current issues. They will also learn how to write an effective speech, and develop interpretation skills. These students participate in locally held National Forensic tournaments throughout the school year.
Lower School students use the art of Drama to delve into historical studies taking part in the grade level classrooms. 1st Grade students present the All-American Picnic presentation, 3rd Grade students culminate their study of the state with the South Carolina History Musical and 4th Grade students perform a drama about the historical travels of Lewis and Clark.

Dear SFCS Drama Families...
The students are working hard on our spring production, Flowers for Algernon, and we are very excited about the progress we are making toward this performance. In order to be able to purchase costumes and building supplies, we are selling ads that will appear in our performance program of Flowers for Algernon. Parents, friends, and relatives can purchase a space in our program and write a message in that space. Also, if you own a business and would like to advertise, that would also be an option. I can print pictures if you will email them to me in a JPEG or PDF format. Please download, complete and return the Program Advertisement form to any school office or email me your information. Make checks payable to SFCS.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Brenda Stephens
