Go to Class.
Do your homework.
Go to rehearsal.
If you can't be at rehearsal let us (Doc, Andi or Shelby) know at least 24 hours in advance.
Know your lines.
Pick up after yourself and be respectful.
Other than that, have fun keep up the good work and enjoy the experience.
-From the Ex-Drama Team President and Stage Manager
You have all been given the privilege to be a part of the best freaken team ever!!!!! That's right. The Drury Drama Team. (crosses arms and looks smug). To help the team remain in its top position ("The best freaken team ever!") we must all do our parts.
1.) Come to class. (Yeah, yeah, we all have one of those teachers, beat em down!)
2.) Treat others as you would like to be treated. (Cliché, I know, I apologize.)
3.) Do your homework!!
4.) Participate (what's the point of class if you don't do anything?) (Math class being the one exception)
5.) HAVE FUN! and no use of the dreaded "C" word.
