Drama Club Showcase: 5/10

4/26/2019

North Hills High School Drama Club will present its annual Student Showcase on May 10 at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Admission is $5 at the door, with proceeds benefiting the drama club’s fall play and spring musical productions.

The Showcase program is almost entirely student-run – from selection of materials to auditions and rehearsals to stage management. Drama Club members will sing songs from Broadway musicals, present dance routines, and act out scenes from plays, musicals, or movies.

In addition, 19 students will be recognized for achieving membership into the International Thespian Society (ITS), the honor society for secondary school theatre students. Membership is granted based on achievements in the school's theatre program, such as participation in any aspect of the fall play or spring musical productions. Thespian troupes include students in grades 9-12 who have completed at least 100 hours of excellent work. Students continue to earn ITS points beyond induction to achieve progressively higher honors. Academic achievement is rewarded as well – with a GPA of 3.5 or higher earning scholar distinctions. Both current ITS officers and new officers for the 2019-2020 Drama Club will receive recognition.

BABY & SENIOR PICTURES NEEDED!
As part of the banquet, Mr. Cloonan puts together a slide show featuring each senior. To make it a little more interesting, we like to show a baby or younger photo first, then the current photo to see if people can figure out who the student is. Please send the photos you would like to include for your senior to northhillschoirs@gmail.com (please don't sent to Mr. Cloonan directly to avoid it being lost in all of his other emails!) and make sure to include the name of the senior in the email or name of the file. Please complete this by FRIDAY, MAY 3 to give him the weekend to work on the slide show.
