The document discusses the theatre elective at Orcutt Academy High School and promotes its benefits. It argues theatre is a good elective for students to take for two main reasons: 1) they will learn valuable stage skills like volume control, use of space, and prop usage, and 2) it provides a good experience for self-expression. The document provides support for these points and outlines what students can learn and do in a theatre class, such as expressing themselves and learning teamwork. Student surveys about the theatre elective are also presented.
