The AMS Drama Club strives to build verbal and nonverbal communication skills, increase social awareness and interactions, strengthen problem-solving abilities, and foster a love of and appreciation for drama and theater production.
The purpose of the club is:
- To foster a passion for theater by exposing students to performance, play writing, stagecraft, and other facets of drama,
- To educate and encourage members to continue participating in drama and theater endeavors while stretching their talents both on stage and behind-the-stage,
- To provide opportunities for members that include (but are not limited to) drama workshops, choreography, visiting a theatre rehearsal and/or production, improvisation, script-writing, and one-act plays. When available, local theatre opportunities will be announced to members in order to encourage their involvement in other venues.
- To inform members of local theater opportunities in other
venues.
- To act as a “feeder” to the AHS Drama Club.
