English Department

Great Lakes Theater wowed Steele students with their acting expertise the weeks leading up to spring break. Thanks to an Amherst Fine Arts Grant and the generosity of GLT, Mrs. Brogan and Mrs. Opel were lucky enough to have their students study literature with the professional acting company.

Sophomores saw the play “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller brought to life over the course of a week. Students performed scenes alongside the actors and were also able to see the actors present their craft in short dramatic scenes. Sophomores spent the 3rd quarter reading the classic play, and the residency program really allowed them to experience the play first hand.

Freshman studied “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare 1st semester, but they were able to relive its dramatic, tragic scenes again with GLT. The students were even treated to some sword fighting instruction on the final day when they performed the final scene of the play.

Drama students were also able to partake in the fun by playing theater games and practicing improv and monologue performances with the actors.

A great big thanks to Great Lakes Theater and the amazing actors who spent a week at Amherst bringing literature and theater to life for the students.
