The Jonathan Law Drama Club is preparing for its upcoming production of the iconic movie – and musical – “Mean Girls” on March 8-9.
Members said the Drama Club is great for students with a passion for the arts or who want to be part of a community of kids with similar interests. This club also allows students to feel like they are a part of a real project and a chance to perform in front of an audience.
“This club allows us to express our creative side while being part of a strong community,” Drama Club Advisor Ms. Lenotti said. “It’s fun both socially and artistically.”
This club allows anyone interested in it to be welcomed with open arms into a safe community.
”People should join this club because you’ll get to meet so many new people and be presented with new opportunities,” said senior Lissette Soto, who plays the lead role of Cady Heron said. “Even if you are someone who may not like to be in the spotlight, there is a place for everyone in this club.”
This club has left a positive impact on many students at Law who are or have been a part of it.
“I have seen so many people gain confidence and make so many friends after joining Drama Club,” said sophomore Keira Askintowicz, who plays the role of Karen Smith said. “It has truly changed my perspective on so many things and I am much happier since I’ve joined.”
Members of this club enjoy the stress-free environment and the peers whom they interact with.
“I like being a part of Drama Club because everyone in Drama is really funny and super easy to talk to,” said junior Brayden Dollar, who plays the roles of Glen Coco and Cady’s Dad said. “And also acting is just a fun passion which makes drama even more fun in general.”
Members of the Drama Club are excited to perform their version of “Mean Girls.”
“I am most looking forward to being able to show the Law community all the hard work and dedication we put in each day,” said sophomore Chris Serrano, who plays the role of Damian.
