Just over a month into the new school year, the Drama Club is already in full swing. The club has also expanded its focus from just acting, now using club time to train theater crew as well.

“We always start off huge, and then it kind of settles into a medium,” club sponsor Kim Sulzner said. “Our first meeting was really full at almost 80 people, which is a little more than last year.”

The club has already begun auditions for its upcoming fall play in early November,  ‘Wait Until Dark’. Beyond that, the club already has plans for another escape room around Halloween and preliminary ideas for the spring play.

“We haven’t done anything really funny, everything we’ve picked so far has been really serious,” Sulzner said. “Beauty in the Beast was kind of light-hearted, but I think everybody’s interested to do something funny.”

The club opens up opportunities in theater to everybody, hence their new vision statement that “drama is a place for everyone, and everyone has a place.”

“I’ve been doing theater since I was 5-years-old,” Club President Zac Cary said. “I want to afford different opportunities for other students who want to pursue theatrical arts to try different things and really get a full exposure to what theater really is.”
