High school drama at Quantico is a course
designed to teach about the history of the theater and its cultural influences
and impacts. Students will study theatrical genres, major playwrights, and how to create dramatic texts for production, in using characterization and self-expression
to perform in a variety of roles.
I had the privilege to interview Ryan Furiak, a
student in drama this year. Ryan has been here since he was in the fourth
grade. He plays football, basketball and baseball at the school. Ryan says that
he had never considered being an actor when he grows up; he has always wanted
to be a Marine. He admires Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell, Adam Sandler, David
Spade, and Jack Black. Ryan enjoys drama and says he is an astonishing actor.
He wants to learn how to work the stage lights during the drama plays and the history of who
directed the first plays of early theater. Although he thinks of himself as a great actor,
he says that Richard Chalk, a senior in his class, is the best actor.
