Activities

Drama Club meets Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday each active school week starting September 3^rd! 😃 from 2:30pm-4:00pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday during the musical season in the Fall. We do not offer a second “performance” in the Spring.

All! 6-8^th are able to, but  must audition. Students will be expected to be at all rehearsals and follow our school standard behavior guidelines. Students must also maintain their grades, as by our after school club rules, in order to participate.

Why Students Benefit from Drama Club?  The Fall Musical is a great opportunity for those who seek the chance to combine acting, staging, choreography, and of course singing! They will gain skills in the performing arts that no other program can provide. They will be featured in three  performances on November 14^th-16^th at Lakeview Middle School on stage. After auditions, students could have the opportunity to be an actor, backstage crew member, or a student stage manager.

Transportation to and from is not provided.
