Thank you so much to everyone who auditioned! We had such a talented group! Rather than doing auditions to join Advanced Drama in the 2nd semester, I am inviting students to join us in then as we prepare for our production of Peter and the Starcatchers. If you have any questions about your auditions or about how we're doing things this year, please let me know!
Parent & Student Meeting for the Shakespeare Team will be May 15th at 8:30 in the Little Theater
Auditions for placement on the Shakespeare Team will be May 24th.
Please prepare 2 contrasting Shakespearean Monologues.

Why is this an auditioned class?
Advanced Drama is a competition level class at Orem High School. We compete in the fall at the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City (Sept 30-Oct 2, 2021), and then again in the regional and state level in the spring (March). Advanced Drama class members are also cast in Orem High's spring play (April).
Can I take this class my junior and senior year?
Yes! The curriculum is different if you were to take this class as a junior and then as well as a senior. The competition pieces and productions are also different each year.
Do I really need to have taken another drama class before this class? Doesn't just being in the musical count?
I hope that every student who does a production with me is learning something, but there really are foundational skills that are taught in my beginning/intermediate/and MDT classes that you need to have to be in Advanced Drama. In the past, students (especially seniors) have just been able to audition and be placed in the class. I am really stepping back from this because of how important it is to have those foundations from previous classes. Ideally, Sophomore students take Beginning Drama, Intermediate Drama, or MDT and then audition for Advanced Drama and can take that their Junior and Senior years. However, you are always able to come talk to me and we can talk through what options I feel are best for you.
If I don't get into the class first semester, can I try again for second semester?
I love having students audition or re-audition and add the class at the 2nd semester.
