An Original One-Act Play
Every year around June or July the drama club agrees upon one idea for the one act play that will be performed that season. A student (or students) then works together with Mr. Turner to develop and write the one-act and then to direct and produce it. The one-act is written, rehearsed, and performed entirely outside of classrooms and you are not required to have any drama experience or classes to be a part of it. The one-act will be performed several times after school and then entered competitively at the Lenaea High School Theatre Festival and at the Mother Lode Drama Festival. |
