This semester, Watermark University is offering a drama course developed to foster a sense of adventure from students as they act and work together. In this class, Tony DiFabbio, a director and drama teacher with forty years of experience, will lead theater and improvisation exercises that explore various life situations from early memories to present experiences. For a $75.00 enrollment fee, the course includes 8 sessions, which will be held on Thursdays at 11:30 a.m. from April 9 until May 28.
