About Our Club
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
The HCS Drama Club is made up of an all student cast and a crew comprised of students and parents. Being a part of the HCS Drama Club is a rewarding experience that requires commitment, enthusiasm & team work! No experience needed, all are welcome who want to be a part of the club! We will be focusing this year on providing age appropriate instruction in acting, scenic, costume, and prop design and construction, and other areas of theatre where we have both student interest and parent mentors.
Cast members are required to commit to twice weekly rehearsals as well as working on memorization of the script, music, and choreography (if applicable) outside of rehearsals. Cast members are also required to attend all tech week rehearsals and performances.
Our crew members will meet weekly as needed and must attend all tech week rehearsals and performances.
All parents of Drama Club students are required to participate in the club by taking on a parent job. These jobs may include time spent during regular rehearsals, tech week rehearsals, and/or performances. Parents must attend monthly meetings and read and respond appropriately to communication sent out over Band.
Parents of students under the age of 10 are required to attend and directly supervise their children during all rehearsals.
Aladdin Jr. will be presented by our 9th-12th grade actors.
Seussical Kids will be presented by our 3rd - 8th grade actors.
Student crew spots will be open to 7th - 12th graders.
November 12th: 2pm-4pm
