Drama Club

In a time when the arts and music are being  reduced in schools, Ferguson's Drama Club is thriving!  Each year, the Drama Club presents and exciting musical that entertains all.  In addition, the Drama Club occasionally puts on original plays written by the Director with the help of the cast.

 

Past Plays/Musicals have included:

 

  • The True Meaning of the Holidays:  A Modern Day Scrouge
  • The Wiz
  • High School Musical
  • Romeo & Juliet:  The Ferguson Way!

Romeo & Juliet: The Ferguson Way!

Ferguson's own orginal adaptation of Romeo & Juliet was a smashing success!  Take Shakespeare's classic tale of star-crossed lovers, give it  an updated flair to fit modern day, add in some great music and you've got "Romeo & Juliet:  The Ferguson Way!

 

The Drama Club was oustanding in this, Ferguson's 3rd musical production!  There was singing and dancing, excitement and suspense.  And a bit of a twist at the end!

 

CD's are still available.  If you are interested in purchasing a CD of "Romeo & Juliet:  The Ferguson's Way", contact Ms. Saunders - evsaunders@philasd.org or (215) 684-5092.

 

You can  read about the production on a blog on Edutopia's website written by our very own Ms. Saunders!  It even includes a copy of the script.

 

 

 

Stay tuned for information for the 2011 play - you won't want to miss it!
