This afternoon we finished our read through of our Oregon Trail script. We're all excited to get this play up and running and to begin practicing! 

We had a special acting workshop from the Berkeley Repertory Theatre workshop.  Reggie taught Strawberry Creek the essential acting tools. Through a series of exercises, students practiced creating scenes that conveyed particular relationships, places, and conflict.
