This particular school has hit a rough patch this last year. During Christmas break, they suffered the loss of their drama teacher and biggest supporter to a long, heartbreaking battle against cancer. And if that wastn't enough, the participants in this club, now a student run affair, have lessened due to an extreme outbreak of mono throughout the school. These students have assessed that they need assistance and have mustered

    Shakespeare's plays have amazed many generations with his superior vocabulary and compelling characters and plot. Shakespeare's plays would not be nearly as well known or rejoiced if it wasn't for the Globe Theatre, a revolutionary (at the time) design that made it easy for the audience to see the performance. The theatre unfortunately was burnt on June 29, 1663 was rebuilt on June 1964, but more on that later. The Globe was Shakespeare's first theatre for the company he worked for; they built it just for their playwright's which at the time was amazing. Shakespeare had a love for the theatre and felt that the building of the Globe Theatre many more people would be able to enjoy it also, and he was right.…

    High School Musical: the 2006 movie that changed America and me. The movie depicted high school as a place where students sang in between classes, danced on the lunch tables, and, obviously, found lifelong love. As a wide-eyed six year old, all of this sounded great to me. I was itching to go to high school and participate, and if someone had asked me to, I would’ve dropped everything for that dancing and singing kind of scenario.…

    Audition week. The second most nerve wracking experience a theatre kid has to go through. You’re all alone on a blank stage staring at a panel of directors making a choice about the next three months of your high school experience. Although it may be scary, the directors are just your biggest fans. They want to see you succeed, and that is what everyone who walked in and faced the directors did! They are all incredibly proud of everybody who auditioned, but sadly they could not take all 70 people into the next step, callbacks. 40 people all fighting for about 7 leads is the most stressful event I can imagine.…

    OPRF high school is brimming with diverse cliques, groups, and clubs. But one particular cohort seems to stand out from the rest. The theatre department, overseen by Michelle Bayer, can be described as a whirlwind of activity, with 10 official productions each year. My group researched it for the education unit, but the majority of them were unfamiliar with the activity, and I felt the overall presentation was unrepresentative of what high school theatre is. It can be characterized, primarily, by an abundance of drama, both in the acting sense, and in the social sense. Theatre kids are infamous for their diva-like attitudes, and occasional entitlement. I had the opportunity to observe these behaviors up close and personal with my shows I participated in this year.…
