The Drama program at Pope John Paul II Catholic High School strives to give students a creative outlet in which to grow and showcase their God-given talents. There are multiple opportunities available each year to participate on-stage, back-stage or both! The department sponsors a full length fall play, spring musical, Broadway Review, student talent show, open mic nights, and a spring one-act play. Each year, the Drama program participates in both the Trumbauer Theatre Festival and the Alabama Thespian Festival. At both festivals, students may compete in any number of performances or technical events, attend workshops and perform in either a one-act play or full length play competition.
The classes currently offered within the Drama program include the following:
DRAMA I:
This class introduces the student to all aspects of the theatre including performance, technical aspects and history. Students are encouraged to participate in the Trumbauer Theatre Festival and the Alabama Thespian Festival and perform a one-act play at the end of the school year.
PLAY PRODUCTION:
This is a performance-based class for students who have completed Drama I. Students perform in the fall play and the spring musical. They are required to participate in the Trumbauer Theatre Festival and the Alabama Thespian Festival. Additional assignments may be based on the current production.
TECHNICAL THEATRE:
This is a practical class in all areas of technical theatre. Students will learn requirements for putting a production together from start to finish. Assignments include publicity, costuming, set design and building, makeup and props.
