A-Level - Drama and Theatre

As a result of the performance requirements and number of texts to be studied for Drama and Theatre qualification, Cheshire has been advised by the exam board to only offer this as a two year A-Level course. They have taken this advice, as it is in the best interest of the students and will maximize their chances of succeeding. Drama and Theatre is an exciting and rewarding area of study. Each student will experience performing in the college's 300 seat auditorium with industry standard sound and lighting equipment. Students will work in an atmosphere that is both challenging and supportive. The course will introduce students to a range of theatre practitioners, playwrights, and they will explore their work both practically and analytically, from the perspectives of actor, deviser, director, theatre critic and designer. Cheshire College's students leave the department every year to enter the full spectrum of degree courses at both University and Drama School. Employers and HE institutions recognize the value of this course as it provides students with transferable skills that encourage creativity, communication, sensitivity, self-confidence and leadership.
