Getting Started with Our In the Limelight Homeschool Drama Course

In the Limelight lessons encourage students to go deep into their study of drama. This homeschool drama course looks at a number of classic plays and shows homeschool students of various ages how to study and perform them at home—even if the student is an only child.

This course is about more than drama. It is about the hearts and minds of the next generation.

It is designed for any homeschool family anywhere as an extracurricular fine arts activity.

More About Our In the Limelight Homeschool Drama Course

By culminating the best in dramatic literature (of all age levels) and applying the principles in the light of God’s Word, families can live more creative, beautiful lives while spreading the good news of the Kingdom in their own backyards.” ~RachelAnn Rogish, In the Limelight’s Lesson Designer

In the Limelight is no ordinary drama curriculum! This homeschool drama course is a series of exciting dramatic adventures for homeschool families of all sizes and ages! Whether or not the student is familiar with acting, In the Limelight is their passport to discovering new ideas and amazing stories—all discussed and performed in the light of God’s Word. For the homeschool family who already enjoys reading stories and telling them, imaginations will find fuel in these unit studies.

Students often spend much of the day learning, but learning is more than getting ready for what will happen after high school. Learning is a bridge to understanding life and how to apply what is learned. Parents help their children along life’s path, and In the Limelight is something the whole family can share together.

The schedule of any parent is full! Caring for the home and children and other responsibilities outside the home keeps any parent busy, but a homeschool parent also serves as an educator—a mom or dad who has taken on a quest. In the Limelight helps  parents think of and use drama throughout everyday life. Think “outside the box” but inside the Word. Materials abound for homeschooling families, but this drama course goes beyond plays and performing. The hearts and worldviews of the next generation are the top priority.

As tides in education change, teaching and learning materials need to change, too, and every In the Limelight lesson includes a fresh look and other exciting features for the whole family to use. No matter the family size or age of students, everyone can fully participate. Invite fellow homeschoolers, cousins, or friends (whether far or near) to come and perform, too. Barbie Dolls ™, Legos ™, and action figures are an excellent resource for “actors” as well.

In the Limelight is designed with the busy homeschool family in mind! Simply download each lesson, print it, and store in a binder for easy access and use. Each homeschool drama lesson includes a teacher’s unit and bonus material such as acting tips, lists of fun activities, and more.

Get ready to explore a new world full of color, ideas, and beautiful stories that can propel homeschool students into their own backyards, excited to tell others about the Ggospel of Jesus Christ!
