Yee-Haw! This semester we’re heading out on a cattle drive! Students will develop their acting skills through direct teaching, exciting improvisations, and preparing for an original, one-act play called Colorady Cowpokes. This original one-act rustic Western follows a group of cowpokes on a cattle drive, who regale tall tales, heart warming stories, and bring cattle rustlers to justice to save Mama’s farm! The semester culminates with the students performing their play ON STAGE for family and friends to enjoy.
