What happens during Drama Club?
Drama club meets for 9 weeks each fall. Young actors will work toward putting on their own version of a Shakespeare play, classic work of literature, or musical review and will culminate with a show for peers (morning school assembly), family and friends (evening performance) in week ten.
Actors spend roughly a third of the time playing drama games, a third developing acting, improvisational and storytelling skills and a third working towards the final performance. The exact content week-to-week will depend on the group dynamic, the show and the pace of development within the ensemble. One thing is for sure…each actor will stretch, grow and have fun doing it!
Lessons include:

• Voice, Body Movement, Storytelling
• Improvisation, Chivalry, Risk
• Ensemble, Vocabulary, Trust
• Language, Literature, History
• Observation, Focus, Commitment
• Communication, Emotion, Character Development…and more!
