On Thursday, November 19 at 5:30 pm in the school gym, Mrs. Shinaver’s Drama Class performed several different short plays in groups, having 34 students in total. Not only do they have roles but they also do something tech related like stage manager, lighting, sound, stage hands, costume, and makeup artist. They have to rehearse for many hours, depending on the day. When asked why she chose to do several different short plays, Mrs. Shinavers explained, “It’s really difficult to find balanced roles, if we did one regular play, main characters would have to memorize more words than others and it wouldn’t be fair to everybody.” She also believes that when they have their own separate plays “it gives them more pride on being able to accomplish things by themselves, because everybody is their own director.” She also mentioned, “I don’t help with anything I’m just a part of the audience.” When asked what inspired her to do drama she sighed saying, “Long story… I really looked up to this drama teacher in high school who was also my English teacher and I just thought she had the life,” adding towards the end “and a cute husband, he rode a motorcycle.” Mrs. Shinaver also mentioned “I just had a wonderful experience being on stage and enjoyed everything, the lights, makeup, music, and stage props.”
