DRAMA CALENDAR

We have two productions a year, a fall play and a spring musical. All high school students are invited to audition for the show and to participate in the crew

The fall show will be announced the first week of school with auditions to follow after Labor Day. The musical is usually announced at the final show of the play and auditions will be either before or after Winter Break.

DRAMA CAMP - June 23-27, 2025

Any student who has completed grades 2-8 is invited to join us at RB for a camp all about Drama! Students will learn about singing, acting, dancing, improvisation, set and costume design, lighting design, as well as perform a show by the end of the week. Cost is $75 per student with a cap of $150 for a family. Here is a form to sign up your student! For more information please contact Diane Kane (dkane@rb157.org).

DRAMA CLUB--Meets every Monday on the stage from 3:00 until 4:00 pm.

Topics include improv, set design and construction, lights & sound, audition tips, dance basics, and going to see professional shows such as Les Mis, West Side Story, and Chicago. Students are encouraged to check out the schedule as we'll have 2-4 week sessions on different topics. Also, students are encouraged to stay connected on Schoology for updates and announcements. If you are not on Schoology for Drama, please contact Ms. Kane or Mr. Lyon

SPRING MUSICAL - 2025

The spring musical was Schoolhouse Rock Live!, taking audiences back to their childhood in some cases to enjoy how we learned things such as the Preamble to the constitution, our adverbs and adjectives, and how to multiply by 3 or 5. Students came away with knowledge that only putting information to music allows us to learn and retain so easily.

FALL PLAY - 2024

This year, there were two one act plays for the students to enjoy. One was entitled Checking In, which showed people in all stages of life at a hotel, each with their own story and take on the challenges and benefits of being that age. The second play was One Stoplight Town, which was about how people sometimes resist change and are content with how things have always been. Again, there are pros and cons to each story, but overall the students got to experience several ages and stages of life, which allowed them to empathize with someone in a different situation than they have experienced before.
