Jonathan Law’s Drama Club thrilled audiences at their annual “Spooky Showcase” on October 20 and 21.
The Spooky Showcase was a way to include many cast members and show off their talents, making everyone feel like a family and easing their nerves.
“During the performance, it was like all my nerves had disappeared,” sophomore Rosetta O’Connell said. “I had my ‘family’ right there with me and being able to perform with such amazing people was truly the best feeling ever.”
The Spooky Showcase featured a variety of Halloween-themed songs, skits, and more to help show off individuals’ talent on and off the stage.
The showcase was especially memorable for Drama Club’s senior President Toni Cepalia.
“Being President of the Drama Club has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done,” Cepalia said.
The Spooky Showcase was the first production for some Drama Club members.
“During the performance I felt great,” sophomore Aylanna Vega said. “It was my first time being a crew member and it was really great watching and supporting everyone that was performing.”
Drama Club is an important part of Jonathan Law as the club is about building friendships and community between students.
“Drama Club is a family and we all support each other through everything,” senior Hailey Russo said.
The Spooky Showcase consisted of many fan favorite performances which was exciting for all participating.
“I feel like I did a really great job especially during ‘Thriller,'” sophomore Carter Elliott said. “That was one of my best and most memorable performances for me.”
Throughout the night students were able to buy candy and food, which helped support the Drama Club.
Everyone in Drama Club worked hard for months to put on the Spooky Showcase and members are were exhausted by the end of the weekend.
“After the show I was so happy we made everything work out, and also so tired,” Vega said.
