Students in the course will form a theatre company and take on the roles of actors, directors, dramaturgs, designers, and technicians in order to produce short works together. The monologues, scenes, and short plays performed in the class will be selected based on students' interests and relevance to the moment. This is a blended course, students will be able to utilize their experiences in the Green Room and Encore Companies in conjunction with this course. Students may repeat this course for credit.

Green Room Theatre Company is the extracurricular theatre group at Grayslake North. In addition to producing a season of two shows and a musical, the students of Green Room have the opportunity to participate in field trips to see high school, college, and professional theatre. Membership is open to any student who would like to participate in creating a performance. Students take advantage of opportunities to work both on stage and off stage. Students take responsibility for all aspects of each production: building scenery, creating costumes, lighting, designing sound, managing the box office, preparing programs, and publicizing the shows.
