Drama Club president and senior Sophie Maselli is excited for the plans the club has for the new school year. Advocate News Editor Kaitlyn Goldberg interviewed Maselli about the upcoming year for Drama Club.  

Kaitlyn Goldberg: What are you most excited about for Drama Club this year?

Sophie Maselli: I am most excited for a “normal” Drama Club season. I am very hopeful that for the spring musical we can have a live audience with the actors maskless. But we will have to wait and see! As always, I am so excited to “reunite” with everyone in the Drama Club and get rehearsals started!

KG: What is the best part about the Drama Club at Law?

SM:While the shows are always amazing, the people in the club are one of the best things. They are all so talented, funny, and kind. The Drama Club is truly a family and we all have one thing in common: our love for theatre. We all bond over our favorite musicals, singing and doing the choreography during rehearsal breaks.

KG: As president, what are your plans for this year?

SM: As president, I want to attempt to achieve a “normal” show this year with a live audience and no masks for the actors. My fingers are crossed for the spring musical!

KG:  Why should students join Drama this year?

SM: Students should join the Drama Club this year because it is a club like no other. We are all one big family that bonds over our love of theatre, whether it be singing our favorite Broadway songs during rehearsal breaks, practicing choreography and lines outside of school, or crying at the cast party. Being a part of the Drama Club these last three years has truly been a magical experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything. 

KG: Why did you first want to join Drama?

SM: I’ve been performing in school plays since I was eight, so I always knew I would join the Drama Club in high school – and it is something I will never regret. Although I was timid at first about joining because I was intimidated by all the amazing actors, I am so glad I joined. Drama truly helped me out of my shell and gave me the chance to become friends with so many talented people. I’ve had a blast the past three years and I am so sad this is my last year at Law.
