K-12 Extracurricular Theatre Group
Mohon Masque and Li'l Masque Director: Dr.
Margaret Gray
Contact: 518-356-8300
Students from grades K-12 are invited to participate in Mohonasen's two student theatre groups: Mohon Masque (grades 9-12) and Li'l Masque (grades K-8). Two major productions are generally staged each year, one in the late fall/early winter along with a major musical in the spring.
These student theatre groups, under the direction of Dr. Margaret Gray, have earned a reputation for putting on outstanding performances that play to packed houses year after year.
Tryouts and rehearsals are announced at least a week in advance to give students time to prepare. Beyond acting and singing, students can get involved in many other ways. Directing, stage crew, set building, costumes, fundraising and lighting are just a few of the behind-the-scenes opportunities for students. Parents are also encouraged to get involved and continue to provide invaluable support to this important program.
Summer theatre courses are also offered at Mohonasen, for elementary, middle and high school students, alike.
12th-Grade English Course in Theatre
Teacher: Kathleen Derochie
Contact: 518-356-8300
In their senior year, Mohonasen High School students may take two elective courses in theatre which count toward their English requirements for graduation. Primarily directed toward performance, the course provides training in special skills related to theatre performance and production. Students study the means of creating and producing drama as they engage in individual and group theatrical and theatre-related tasks. Theatre I covers stage direction, voice and diction, stage movement, character, analysis and fundamentals of play production. Theatre II continues skill development in these areas while delving more deeply into aspects of play production such as setting, lighting, costuming and makeup.
