Drama in TUSD begins in elementary school as creative drama introduced through opera and drama in the Opening Minds Through the Arts program. Drama programs in middle and high schools are thriving and growing throughout TUSD, allowing students to excel in the skills of speaking, program presentation, and technical aspects of the theatre. These drama programs are an integral part of preparing students for the new conceptual age of creativity in the work place. The transferable skills learned in these programs are simply invaluable.
