Colorado Academic Standards for Drama and Theatre Arts
Theatre arts are a universal force in the everyday life of people around the world. This force connects each new generation to those who have gone before. Students need theatre arts to make these connections and to express the otherwise inexpressible. Theatre, the imagined and enacted world of human beings, is one of the primary ways children learn about life — about actions and consequences, customs and beliefs, and others and themselves.
