Valley School Drama Club

A fun and valuable extracurricular activity at Valley School, Drama Club is an opportunity for students of varying ages to work together and learn about stagecraft, lighting, costuming/makeup, and role-playing. The benefits of being involved in performance art are multi-faceted and provide physical, emotional and social development. 

  • Students gain self-confidence as they learn how to speak before the public, improving verbal and nonverbal skills, tone of speech and expression.
     
  • Listening, observing, and physically moving on stage under direction involves personal responsibility, collaboration and teamwork. 
     
  • Memory is exercised as students focus their minds to recite dialog and remain in character. Understanding character motivation and the subtext of stories involves imagination and creative thinking, encourages empathy and tolerance for different people and unfamiliar situations.
     
  • Show production develops knowledge and creative skills in music, lighting, costuming, scenery/backdrops and promotions. 

    We’ll see you at our fall production!
             
 Thursday & Friday
      November 7-8, 2024
