Drama Club Handbook 2019 - 2020 Palos South proudly presents: Welcome Mr. Buvala, Mr. Dinolfo, Mr. Hansen, Mrs. Swan and I are excited to announce that we will be performing Disney’s newest licensed production, Frozen, JR. This show has a special place in many Disney fanatics’ hearts. We are ready to start another magical drama season. There are a few important facts and dates for everyone to know. Please be aware of them. 1.) There are two days for auditions. The first day is for acting and dancing auditions and the second day is for vocal auditions. It is expected that students attend both days. 2.) We will be performing at Stagg High School. Stagg has a beautiful state of the art theatre and they are wonderful hosts to all of us. We have our first practice there on Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, Monday, January 20, 2020. Please plan accordingly. 3.) There will be a parent meeting to answer any questions about the musical and drama club. We would also like to gather some parent participation and support. As every year, the drama club is successful because of the wonderful dedication of the students and parents. I could not put any of this together without your assistance. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, October, 1 at 5:00PM. This is directly after an all cast meeting so that as many parents as possible can attend. The kids can stay for it also, so that they are aware of what we need from them. 4.) I want to accommodate all students to get as many participants in the play as possible. If you do not get a part, as they are limited, please come to stage crew, or any of the other crews. As many students will tell you, those crews make the production such a resounding success. It’s also a ton of fun! Mr. Hansen will continue to be the assistant director in charge of music, sound, and lighting. Mr. Buvala will be the assistant director in charge of art direction and set production. Mrs. Swan and Mr. Dinolfo will be in charge of ticket sales, backstage direction, and helping with the stage crew. We have high expectations for all those who participate in drama. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please email me. I hope to see you all soon! Break a leg, Ms. Stephanie Hill 1 Cast Rehearsal Schedule The rehearsal schedule is extremely important to the success of our production. Therefore, students are required to attend ALL rehearsals that their character requires. There will be exceptions made for students who are absent due to illness. If a student has a commitment that was scheduled before receiving the handbook, then they should see Ms. Hill immediately so we can decide if we can work around the scheduling conflict. I want as many students to be able to be part of this experience who want to participate, but each student needs to be able to attend enough rehearsals so that our time is used wisely. Drama is a commitment. Anyone who wants to participate must commit and if they are dropping out to join another activity, they must do so by Thanksgiving break. Students will not be able to participate in other South extracurricular activities that conflict with the drama rehearsal dates. Students who miss a rehearsal will receive a warning the first time and will be asked to remove themselves from the cast if a second incident occurs. Punctuality is also an important factor regarding the success of a performance. We have a limited amount of time to learn the material, so we need to make good use of the time that we do have. If rehearsals do not begin on time due to a cast member being late, pleases note that we may run late for that rehearsal. The vocal schedule will continue to look like last year. We will not have as many vocal rehearsals after school, but some will be during zero hour or the school day during lunch. This will all be set up individually with Mr. Hansen and the students who he needs. Please be aware of when your character is supposed to be at practice! You are responsible for being on stage when your character is in a scene. Please feel free to contact Ms. Hill if you have any questions or concerns about the rehearsal schedule.
