Want to put on a great school play? Our After-School Drama Club is the way to go. Our experienced theater professionals will work with your staff and your students to create a thriving after-school drama club that mounts professional-caliber theater productions. We can do the classics, like The Wizard of Oz, or we can do one of our fabulous original plays – or why not an ongoing program that eventually does them all?
An After-School Drama Club can be paid for by your school or the students can pay individually to participate. Prices vary depending on the chosen funding model and the size and scope of the production.
