Many of my educational ideals were shaped by my own experiences as a K-12 student. A strong foundation in literacy was necessary for my pursuits through college. Theater itself is based on an understanding of text. Written text becomes spoken, as action represents the underlying meaning of the words. Theater brings words to life on stage. However, in order for the text to reach that step, a student must be able to interpret the print on a page. Being proficient with the written word is essential. Literacy is a must.
