The Drama students have produced and put on several plays, including exerpts from Mac¬ beth and An Evening with Shakespeare. Hun¬ dreds of Grovetonites attended the Catholic Uni¬ versity Shakespearan plays. Students participating in the public speaking classes have acquired a knowledge of parliamentary procedure along with speech improvement, and have started Parliamen¬ tary Practice clubs.
