Drama Clubs Routine

Clare Reilly

On February 10th, Manville High School’s Drama club had their first practice. The musical that the club is performing is High School Musical, a 2006 movie where the main character, Gabriella Montez falls in love with a basketball star Troy Bolton. The classic movie was about the students discovering themselves and finding confidence in what they do. Manville’s version stars Krystal Patanella and Anthony Yakobchuck as Troy and Gabriella. The performance date will be the 29th and the 30th of April, and the 1st of May.
There are 3 practice days each week and the club has been learning and practicing the songs and dances. The cast and teachers wear masks and make sure they social distance, it does make projecting their voices hard, but they continue to practice all the harmonies and different parts. Manville’s Drama club and cast are working hard and are thrilled to finally perform for the school and parents.
