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.
Katharine Kennedy
Past President of the
Drury Drama Team
From Troupe Presidents
The Drama Team has produced the premieres of four plays, three of which are now published.
Welcome one and all to the DDT,
We are the best team around of which you will see.
We don't make touchdowns and we don't dribble balls,
But we're ready for action when the curtain calls.
We work really hard but the fun never ends,
And a helping hand someone is always willing to lend.
We go to lots of fun places, like Nebraska and Broadway,
It's quite the experience, I must say.
Theatre games, costumes, makeup, and props galore,
What else could one ask for?!
Just always believe in yourself, that is the key.
And so we welcome you Newbies into the Drury Drama Family!
It's no Emily Dickinson, but at least in rhymes!
