A note from our director:

Good afternoon prospective and returning Whitman Drama students and families - 

I hope that everyone had a smooth first virtual day of school! I'm very excited to announce the virtual plan for Whitman Drama this fall. Instead of collaborating on one large production, we are going to offer classes & smaller performance opportunities over the course of the semester. My goal is to provide fun, interactive and low-stress classes and projects that won't overload your schedules, but still offer a creative outlet to hone theatrical skills and make new friendships. I hope that you will decide to join us. 

In September, we will focus on theatrical skill building as students grow accustomed to virtual learning. Students have the option to take Virtual Drama Classes and/or participate in a Virtual Play Reading Series led by myself. In October, we will begin rehearsals for a Virtual One Acts  (with performances slated for mid-November). In November, we will begin rehearsals for a Virtual Musical Theatre Cabaret & Virtual Play (with performances slated for mid-December and the end of January respectively). 

Each of these projects will offer both performance and tech opportunities . Rehearsals will usually take place for 1hr - 1hr 30mins every Tuesday and Thursday. Additionally there will be a performance and technical masterclass series announced soon! 

Looking forward to a great Fall for Whitman Drama!
