Although the name has been changed, the club’s regular traditions, including Interclass Play Contest and Recital Night, have remained unaltered. The Dramatic Club aims to give its members ample knowledge of all the phases of acting, directing, and producing of theatrical productions as well as the behind-the-footlight activities, such as make-up application and stage setting.
