Along with music and dance, drama is one of the oldest forms of human expression. As Aristotle stated: “Imitation is natural to man” so mankind, by means of creating staged productions, has expressed this desire to mirror the actions of others. Theatre courses introduce students to the theatre as an art form and provide basic training in acting and production activities.
