THEATRE 150
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Whitney is super funny and his personality let everyone feel at ease with each other, which really encouraged class participation in all the silly warm-ups, games, and skits we did! While we did discuss the (light) reading once in a blue moon, most of the time we worked on projects and there was little homework outside of memorizing your lines. :D
