ACT II Program

*ACT II classes are subject to change*

Overview of ACT II Art Class:

The ACT II Art class will require all students to attend scheduled sessions beyond the regular curriculum. This class will allow students to explore various artistic mediums, develop their skills, and create unique projects. Each student will receive a grade based on their participation and progress in this class, which will contribute to their overall academic record.

Class Requirements:

• Mandatory Attendance: All students must attend each scheduled ACT II Art class.
• Grading: Participation, effort, and completed projects will be graded.
• Course Content: Students will explore different techniques in drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media, culminating in a showcase of their work at the end of the term.

We believe that this initiative will not only enhance students’ artistic skills but also encourage self-expression and collaboration. Our goal is to create an inspiring environment where students can thrive creatively.

Act 2 After School Theatre is the new home of technical theatre at Williamsburg. Each section runs for a semester, meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays (while schedules permit). Students in Act 2 will study theatre production techniques, including: set design and painting, sound design and operation, light design, costume design and care, among many others. Members of the Act 2 class assist with the Fall play or Spring musical and will have opportunities to take on leadership roles among their peers during those shows.

Students do the making, the painting, the design, and the organizing – then get to see their hard work rewarded with a great show.

Act 2 Theatre is a class graded on a Pass/Fail standard and once a student commits to it, attendance is required.
