Emily Wilson & Emilly Kean discuss the opportunities that Duncanrig's Drama Department offers to pupils outside of class.
Interested in the Drama department? Looking to get creative and unleash your acting talents? Look no further! Clubs within the Drama department are looking for more students to get involved daily. Maybe you’ve thought about transforming into a pirate, a rootin tootin’ cowboy or perhaps a crime fighting detective? The drama department is where these thoughts spring to life. If you’d rather stay behind the scenes, you can still bring your creativity to life by designing costumes, working the technical aspects and sharing ideas. Being part of the department is a true team experience. You’ll work alongside people from all school years, making connections that go beyond the walls of Duncanrig.
Try theatrics in the musical theatre club which runs on a Wednesday after school from 3pm to 4pm. Or maybe that’s not your style, which might mean that Drama club is a better fit for you, taking place for an hour after school on Monday. The Mind’n’Mingle club during lunchtimes helps support students who are struggling with school or maybe want to find more people they can connect with, if you're feeling like school is a bit of a rough climb some days then Mind’N’Mingle is here to help!
So, what’s going on currently in the department? With the season of snowmen and the smell of hot chocolate swiftly approaching, staff and pupils from musical theatre are working constantly to produce the school's annual Christmas show, which will take place on Wednesday the 18th of December. With some fun numbers from your favourite musical productions as well as some much-needed Christmas hits! So, make sure you're first in line for a ticket to some festive fun within the Drama department.
And remember, drama isn’t just fun—it also looks great on a college application! After school Drama clubs show you’re creative, collaborative, and willing to take on challenges. So, what are you waiting for? Step into the Drama department, join a club and you might just find a new passion, a new talent and a new family! The spotlight is calling - will you answer?
