Freshman  Markee Farler said that in class \u201cwe act, talk, and we are ourselves; no  one judges us.\u201d Additionally, the class does many skits and improv  routines.<\/p>\n<p>Preparation  is part of the craft of acting. \u201cWe have many forms of auditions and  methods that make us better at acting,\u201d junior Christina Krozel said.  \u00a0Sophomore Lauren Smith also works on her lines outside of class, such  as in SRT,\u00a0 homeroom, and during free time in classes.<\/p>\n<p>For  some students, the skills learned in acting class not only make them  better actors or actresses, but also better people overall. Freshman  Breanna Morrow said her \u201cconfidence has been stronger\u201d and she has  \u201cbetter social skills\u201d after taking the class. Krozel said that \u201cit has  shown many sides to people and their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While improving their acting skills, acting class students also gain  other skills, too. \u201cI\u2019ve been able to learn how to be someone or even  something that is nothing like myself,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n<p>The  class has created numerous memories for both the teacher, Mrs.  Charlotte Tyree, and its students. \u201cIn 2008 both our son Jon, a  sophomore, and our daughter Nancy, a senior, were in the \u2018Wizard of Oz\u2019  together and that was a great memory,\u201d Mrs. Tyree said.<\/p>\n<p>Smith  remembers \u201cbeing Dopey for Snow White and it taking like three people  to get my insane ears to stay on.\u201d Krozel recollects her talks with  Sarah Craft and Jordin Cook. \u201cAlso, I remember the rule of keeping your  clothes on [created by Sam Compton who had his shirt get tangled in his microphone in A World of Words].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With  the school year coming to a close, the acting students look forward to  the future.
