The Drama Club, a place filled with eager and gifted individuals that put in a multitude of hours into practices each day, is run by Zack Timm and Don Fox.

“We just want the theatre to be a place where students of all kinds of backgrounds can come and express themselves and learn a variety of skills that they can either take into a future career or just their life,” Timm said.

This is Timm’s fourth year as the club’s advisor. Fox is the theater manager who runs the club’s dedicated tech crew. 

It isn’t just Timm and Fox, they also sometimes get help from community outsiders, they’ve especially had a great help from one of their district community relations organizers, Mr. David Beale. This is immensely helpful due to the Drama Club’s shows coming up.

The Drama Club has unfortunately not had any chance to put on any shows thanks to COVID-19 taking up the span of last year, their last show being in March of 2020. They’ll thankfully come back in full swing with two plays, each having their own uniqueness.

The first play is called, “Our Place” which is made up of vignettes. It was written by Terry Gabbard in 2015, it mixes comedy with drama as it shows multiple people’s lives, all unique in their own ways.

“That sort of depicts the journey of life and the way that some of us have special ties to certain locations,” Timm said.

The second play is named, “All I Really Need to Know I learned by Being in a Bad Play” that, unlike the first, pulls a spin on theatre tropes, which was written by Werner Triechman and was originally published in 2008.  

“It is a show that is a satirical look at the different theatre tropes and what it’s like to put on a play, sort of making fun of the theatre community, but tongue in cheek, it’s definitely anybody who’s been in a play can sort of relate to some of the stuff that’s said during that show,” Timm said.

The Drama Club had endured multiple struggles, just as many as other clubs have. Their passion and enthusiasm for theatre is unrivaled, still having the motivation to continue after a year’s delay. 

“..Lots of people that have taken just being in theater, through the rest of their lives they’re passionate about,” Timm said. “So whatever we could do here to help them realize that you know, it’s why I do it.”
