E i Playmakers Playmakers consist of all drama students who wish to study the many aspects of the theater. Under the direction of lVlr. David Kross, the dramatic arts have become interesting and exciting to all students at South Dade. The history of the theater from Ancient Greece to lVIodern America as well as the works of various playvvrights are studied in the course. Students not only receive training an acting and directing but are also exposed to the technical fields of scenery, costuming, make-up, and lighting. A dramatic production at South Dade requires careful detailed planning by the director, dependability on behalf of the entire cast and stage managers, and an overall willingness to spend numerous hours at rehearsal. Students learn to work with other people in striving for an outstanding dramatic production.

This club promotes an awareness of our southern neighbors and endeavors to develop an insight into the cultural aspects of peoples of Spanish-speaking nations. Every student who is genuinely interested in the people of a different culture, heri- tage, and language is encouraged to become a member of this organization.
