Any co-curricular activity offers its own reason for joining it, and drama is not any different. Students who participate in drama tend to develop their sense of self-worth, of self-confidence and of community. They come to understand the importance of team work in a non-competitive setting and to recognize that even the least skilled among them have much to offer. Experts in the field have their own opinions and thoughts on the matter; I would like to offer you other opinions as I find them. Please read and enjoy!

Philosophy of the Drama Department

The North Catholic drama department seeks to follow the Marianist directive of educating the whole person. Thus several opportunities for participation are offered throughout the year, with varying levels of involvement and commitment. Students may find themselves working alone or with others, but always with the common goal of creating a project that goes beyond their classroom experiences and that offers a chance to showcase talents that may not normally be seen.

PARENTS' SCHEDULE
All parents of the North Catholic Drama Program are expected to participate in the various projects sponsored by the program throughout the year.
