drama class

Stage performance instruction

A drama class is a course in theatrical arts, typically offered in schools, where students learn acting techniques, stagecraft, and performance skills.

The term sometimes carries connotations of melodrama or attention-seeking behavior: Save it for drama class dismisses someone's emotional display as theatrical rather than genuine.
