Our Drama Club, JL Mann Patriot Players, proudly remains an inclusive and fun place to make friends and exercise your theatrical passions and hobbies! View the video below from the 2021-2022 Officers of the International Thespian Society, Troupe#987.
We have school productions and also compete statewide in adjudicated theatre festivals. Past results include Superior ratings for "26 Pebbles" in 2019 and "For Always" (2022). Excellent Ratings were achieved for "Sockdology, (2019)" "Blue and the Grey (2020)," and "Twelve Incompetent Jurors (2021). "
As of last year, Spring 2021, we are fully committed to student-driven mainstage productions where students write, produce, direct and star in their own plays. We experimented with the idea last year and it was a fantastic success with the inaugural work, "My friend, Sam" written and directed by theatre student Maggie Schmotzer. Maggie is now pursuing a theatre degree at the university level.
