Upcoming Production: "The Time Traveler's Dilemma"
We are excited to announce our first major production of the year, "The Time Traveler's Dilemma," an original play written by our talented student playwright, Jessica Turner. This thought-provoking drama takes the audience on a journey through time, exploring the consequences of altering history and the ethical dilemmas faced by a young time traveler.
Masterclass with Broadway Star Alex Bennett
Last week, our drama students had the incredible opportunity to participate in a masterclass with Broadway star Alex Bennett. Alex, known for his roles in hit musicals such as "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Les Misérables," shared his experiences and insights into the world of professional theatre.
During the masterclass, Alex led a series of workshops focusing on acting techniques, vocal training, and audition preparation. Students had the chance to perform scenes and receive feedback from a seasoned professional, an experience that will surely inspire and enhance their craft. We are grateful to Alex for taking the time to mentor our students and help them grow as performers.
New Drama Club Formed: The DNA Thespians
To nurture the interest and talent of our students, the Performing Arts Drama Department has launched a new club: The DNA Thespians. This club is open to all students who have a passion for drama, whether they’re interested in acting, directing, stage management, or set design. The DNA Thespians will meet every Wednesday after school to engage in drama games, script readings, and improvisation exercises.
The club’s first project will be to organize a series of one-act plays that will be performed in November. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to showcase their skills and creativity in a supportive environment.
