a??DTC DRAMA CLUB

(Grades 2-8)

Who is ready to be in the fall play? a??

DTC Drama Club will meet online on Zoom Mondays and Wednesdays after school from 4:00 to 5:00 as students work together to rehearse and perform the play The Wind in the Willows, the classic tale written by Kenneth Grahame and dramatized by Johanna Schloss.

What is the play about? In The Wind in the Willows, a group of friends, tired of being cooped up at home, seek adventures big and small, and find that they are smarter, braver, stronger, and sometimes a little sillier than they had known themselves to be. Adventure awaits in this humorous story of Rat, Mole, Toad, and Badger; a story of lazy days on the river; a journey into the deep, dark woods; a wild joy-ride in a car; and a daring escape from danger!

All students who register for DTC Drama Club will get a part in the play. Students will rehearse and perform online, and round out their DTC Drama Club experience with virtual theatre games/exercises, costume design demonstrations, and opportunities to build an ensemble that has fun while working together to create a show. The play will be performed live on Zoom and also recorded and posted online for families and friends to enjoy. Spaces are limited! Advance registration is required!

Mondays and Wednesdays, October 19-November 11, 2020 (8 sessions)
4:00 to 5:00 p.m. (on Zoom)
