Mission Statement:Remembering our values of Reverence, Respect, and Responsibility, the NDP Drama Community serves to entertain, educate, and inspire those within our school as well as the community at large, welcoming every student in a safe, creative, and accepting environment.
General Club Info/History:The Drama Club is the perfect place to meet friends, have fun, and use your talents. Membership in this community is open to anyone, even if you can only join us for one season. Every type of person is needed, from the most organized to the most artistic, from the singer or actor to the person running the show behind the scenes. Each one of you has a gift or talent that can be used to take a show from being a good one to being a great one!
Meeting Information:First meeting – Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2:45-3:30 p.m.
Meetings generally are held twice a month on Tuesdays, from 2:45-3:15, in the cafeteria. Times and locations may change, so specific meeting information is posted on the Drama Board, outside Room 507, as well as on the Drama Club page on Edline.
Drama Club: "Where We Live Life as it Should Be... On the Stage."
