The drama club activity is a chance for everyone to step outside their comfort zone, get their hands dirty, and be a part of an unfolding drama that celebrates teamwork and problem solving. Amidst the opportunity to set themselves new challenges (physical, mental, and emotional), participants will be discovering their strengths and weaknesses, as well as how to work across boundaries and come up with solutions.
Teams are assigned topics that could be creative, whacky, or linked back to corporate themes and values. Putting together a play is no child's play, though. Several questions need to be answered, and several decisions need to be made. What is the storyline? What about the script and dialogue? Who does what? What if someone forgets his lines? How do we use the props? What makeup should I put on? What about the rehearsals? Teams get everything they need to make the play—an assortment of props, make-up kits, wigs, guns, maces, dresses, and more. The only thing they need to get by themselves, though, is their imagination. The final buzzer goes off, and eventually a hush descends as the first team comes on stage to perform.
