What it is about?
Ludico Theatre's DRAMA CLUB launches this fall 2024! Open to all, whether you're new or experienced in theatre. Join us for an exciting dive into drama!​
​
What is the Drama Club?
The Drama Club is a creative community exploring all aspects of theatre. We start by preparing our bodies and building trust, then move on to the "3 P's of a scene: People, Place, and Problem." Next, we focus on nonverbal communication, work with text, and finally, create and possibly perform small scenes.
​
Who Can Join?
Open to anyone 16 and up, from students to retirees. Participation in all modules is optional, except for Module 5, which requires completing at least two others. Join us at Ludico Theatre - we can’t wait to see you on stage!​
