They stay for four days and nights, seeing the sights during the day and watching Broadway theater at night. Each student pays S5700 and sees performances of plays such as Elephant Man, A Chorus Line, Annie and Dracula. Going to New York is a very rewarding experience for the students. The reward is total exposure to the theater atmosphere, the Drama director said. Since Mr. Keith has been the director, the department has become more than classes. lt, according to Mr. Keith, is a theater in itself. As well as learning about ac- ting, the students learn that more than actors and ac- tresses make a play work. Drama takes people to build props and arrange other details for each production People need to put the props on stage at the right time and in the right place dur- ing the production. Lights and sound must be matched with the action and costumes and makeup must be produced for each performer. HYT is per- formers and stage crew members. lt takes many rehearsals and hard work, but most of all it takes a lot of dedication to be in the group, Mr. Keith said. H YT HYT 193
