MEDFORD, Ore. — The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is taking their craft to the classroom.
Actors from OSF spent the last seven weeks, teaching middle school students at Hedrick, McLoughlin and Ruch. Wednesday, the curtain was raised on the student’s original play at Hedrick, ‘Nova’s Dream and Olga’s Nightmare.’
“A lot of these kids have never done drama before, so this was their first play experience. Some of them haven’t even seen a play before, so it was very exciting,” Tamra Mathias, instructor, said.
The students learned about basic story telling and acting techniques. OSF says they hope this encourages more kids to pursue theater.
