Last Call: SJS Theatre Club – Fall 2023

* Open to SJS students in Grades 4-8
* Starting 10/5, Meeting Wednesdays, 2:00 pm to 3:30pm in the school gym
* $75 Fee to cover performance fees, costumes, sets, props, lesson materials, etc.

Led by SJS parent volunteer Dwayne Harris (who is the Executive Director at The Little Theatre of Manchester!) the SJS Theatre Club will meet once a week after school.  Students will rehearse to perform “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!”  During these sessions, the students participate in various theatre games, improvisation activities, and rehearsals to enhance their creativity, confidence, teamwork, respect, sense of community, and theatre techniques. The program concludes with two performances, one during school hours for the entire school – and one at Cheney Hall in the evening for family and friends.

To participate in the club, students should be able to attend all Wednesday classes and be available in the evening on December 18 for Dress Rehearsal and December 19 for Performance.

***We need at least one other parent volunteer to assist on all Wednesday rehearsals and during the dress rehearsal/performances.  The $75 fee will be waived for this volunteer’s student***
