Drama Council Goes “Superbad” - Written by Diana Wright posted on 07 Sep 2009
If you’re interested in drama, then you might want to hear about some of the things the Drama Council has planned for this year. Promoting, fundraising and creating new ways for everyone to get involved dramatically at LPCI are just a few of the roles the Drama Council plays.
There is a main stage production planned to run in April (“Departures and Arrivals”, by Carol Shields), a Sears Festival production, and also some great fundraising events. Last year the Drama Council raised money to help fund the main stage production of “Alice Through The Looking Glass”. Through additional fundraising senior drama students had the opportunity of in class workshops with theatrical professionals. The funds raised at last year’s Drama Council Garage Sale helped to fund the Career in the Arts Afternoon, which gave senior drama students a taste of occupations in the dramatic world. These opportunities are vital in expanding the knowledge and experience of LPCI’s thespian community, and this year’s council plans even more of them.
LPCI’s 2007/08 main stage production of “Departures and Arrivals” is an ensemble comedy that the Drama Council hopes will attract many new, enthusiastic actors at Lawrence Park. Drama Council also helps promote and finance the Sears Festival plays and the end of year Grade Twelve One Act plays. Theatre at LPCI thrives with the active involvement of committed participants but enthusiastic audiences are also essential for its success. Drama Council hopes their new promotion strategies will attract even larger audiences to LP’s theatrical performances. Facebook groups, announcements, and flyers around the school will help alert LP of any new drama oriented events.
The dramatic arts are certainly important at LPCI, and this year they should prove to be better than ever before. Nicole Thielmann, President of Drama Council, is looking forward to the increased participation of Lawrence Park students this year. She says, “I’m hoping for a great, fun year with lots of thespian accomplishments and for Drama Council to be better known in the school. I’m hoping that everyone comes out and gets involved, because it is going to be Superbad!”
