Do I have to be in the drama class to be in the club or perform in shows?
Absolutely not! The drama class is a fun way to gain more theater experience and knowledge, but it’s not a requirement.
When and where are drama club meetings?
Meetings are held every first Wednesday of the month during lunch in Mrs. Pottinger’s room (2504).
How do I get involved with tech?
Tech packets are put on the call board soon after the audition packets. Keep checking outside the Black Box, and keep an ear out for morning announcements for more announcements! Areas of tech you can work in are costumes, makeup, lights, grips, sound, props, and flies.
When are rehearsals?
Rehearsals for mainstage shows are after school from 2:35-5:30.
Why should I be an usher and how do I get involved?
Ushers greet and hand out programs to people on their way into the theater to see shows. In exchange for ushering you can choose to receive either volunteer hours or thespian points, and on nights when you usher you get to watch the show for free! Contact the house manager (email: [email protected]) to sign up!
What is the thespian society and how do I get involved?
The International Thespian Society is an honor society for high school and middle school theatre students. There are troupes all over the world, and Shorewood is home to Troupe #640. You do not have to be a thespian to be in drama club or productions. Requirements to join the thespian troupe are under the Thespian Troupe #640 tab of the drama page.
What do the names on the backs of thespian hoodies mean?
When you are initiated into the thespian troupe, your initiators give you a thespian name. Each one has significance and a story. Don’t be afraid to ask a thespian what their name means!
How do I get more involved in theatre in my community?
