Law’s Drama Club is preparing to livestream a spectacular showcase. 

The club is putting together various performances including solos, duets, dances, and monologues to be performed March 26 at 7 p.m. Due to COVID-19, the club has been unable to produce a musical this year, but will substitute it with the showcase. 

“With all of the guidelines regarding COVID-19, it would not be safe to perform a musical, and probably not possible with social distancing,” co-president of the Drama Club Sophie Maselli said.

Drama Club rehearsals are online or socially distanced in person this year. Performers will stay at least six feet apart from each other and will be wearing masks. 

The showcase will be live on the JLHS Eagle Eye News YouTube channel (youtube.com/JLHSEagleEyeNews). The performance will be free to watch live on YouTube and will be available on YouTube after the livestream as well.

“Originally I was sad we weren’t able to have a musical this year, but I am very grateful to have the opportunity to perform,” senior Drama Club member Ashley Leparik said.

Each student is able to perform in between three and five acts – either by themselves or with up to two others. There will also be an opening and closing number featuring every Drama Club member.

The acts consist of monologues, scenes, songs, and dances. Club members were able to choose acts from any play or musical they desired.

“I am so glad that we are doing something at least, and that we are coming together and performing with a small group or by ourselves,” Maselli said.

Despite COVID, the Drama Club is still coming together to perform. Club members will be able to get back to what they love to do while staying safe.
