Drama Mission Statement
The purpose of the HCS Drama Club is to give our students opportunities to perform in a theater setting while developing their communication skills, confidence, and God-given talents. While refining their abilities, we will encourage meaningful, Christ-centered relationships so our students can together be lights to the world, having the self-confidence to effectively communicate the truth of Christ and His salvation.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10
About our Club

Cast Members are required to commit to weekly attendance of our rehearsals as well as working on memorization of the script, music and choreography outside of rehearsals. They are also required to attend all Tech Week Rehearsals as well as all Performances.
Our Crew Members are required to attend various Crew Meetings throughout the Drama Season as well as the two Wednesday rehearsals leading up to Tech Week and all rehearsals during Tech Week & all Performances.
