What does Dramatics Club do?
- Each year the club puts on at least one show around February. Mostly it's a play, sometimes it's a series of one-acts, usually it's a single full length play. It's up to the club members to decide. On occasion we've put on a second show. In 2019 we held an end of year performance/fundraiser. In 2020 we ventured into the realm of musicals, working with the Music Theater Workshop class to put on The Addams Family Musical. In 2021 we had virtual steaming show. As of 2022, we are glad to be back in person. This school year, 2023-2024, we will hold a one-act play in the fall and then join forces with Music Theatre again, for our spring performance.
- The club has also held improve nights for club members.
- There's a traditional field trip to watch Grove City College's One-Act Festival in the spring.
- We hope to one day do a murder mystery dinner, host writing workshops, maybe even try 72 hour play were student write, learn, and preform a play in the span of 72 hours!
