The Drama Club serves as a creative outlet for students interested in theatre and acting. During the year there will be small workshops covering acting, stage combat, improvisation, and more. Students will be participating in auditioning for parts. The Drama Club will present a play at the end of the school year. All students who are interested are welcome to join!
