The Jonathan Law Drama Club will be spooking audiences for their fall performance. 

The dates for this showcase are Friday, October 20, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, October 21, at 2 p.m. This performance will showcase the talents of the members of the Drama Club while also encompassing the spooky theme. 

“Having a spooky themed showcase was the perfect way to get in the Halloween spirit while displaying everyone’s Lawmazing talents,” Drama Club Director Brianna Lenotti said.

One of the numbers will showcase Micheal Jackson’s “Thriller,” with classic vocals and dance moves. 

“‘Thriller’ is going to be so much fun, everyone is going to be in it,” junior Costume Designer Josh Valentine said. “It’s going to be so fun to do costumes with, and we might have a really fun set for that.” 

This performance will truly feature students’ creativity, adding the positions of choreographers, costume and set designers, and emcees. 

“Being emcee with (junior) Sarah Ahmed is one of the biggest responsibilities I have felt so far in the club because we are tasked with writing all the commentary in between performances and keeping the crowd alive as the show goes on,” senior President and Emcee Toni Cepalia said. 

The creative aspect of the show will be run by students. However, the directors are always there to help and move an acting scene forward or assist with vocals. 

“Giving students the opportunity to take charge of what they’re putting on stage is a really empowering and exciting experience that provides the opportunity to truly work as a team to create something they’re proud of,” Lenotti said. 

Remembering pieces of choreography or reciting lines can be the most difficult part of performing, however the members work off of each other to overcome those obstacles.

“The biggest obstacle for me is learning the choreography and just memorizing a lot of stuff, but like otherwise there isn’t really an issue,” sophomore Keira Askintowicz said. “It’s all good people, it’s really fun, and I recommend it.” 

Drama Club is always encouraging new members to join. All are welcome and many members describe Drama Club as a family. 

“Even if you have never stepped foot on the stage before. Have experience acting, dancing, anything, but you have the slightest interest,” Cepalia said. “Show up. Audition. The worst thing that could happen is you’re in the ensemble which is one of the biggest parts of the show. Really just put in your all and doing what you can do.”
