eudaimonikos: (right vs. wrong)

no business like show business

WHO: DRAMA CLUB!
WHAT: It's the first club meeting of the year! Let's meet and greet, and then talk about the fall play and our New York trip!
WHEN: January 19th
WHERE: Whatever theatre space there is. Probably Theatre Lenormand?

"Welcome to drama club!"

Michael wait until everyone is present and settled before spreading his hands, creating a few illusory flashes of colored light. Things like this are why a teacher with no actual theatre experience ended up in charge of this club. The meeting is happening in one of the school's rehearsal spaces, which is empty save for a circle of chairs. "For those of you who haven't met me, I'm Michael, your faculty adviser. Now, we're going to start things off with a little warm-up. Two truths and a lie! You - " Michael points to the student to his right. " - start. We'll go around the circle. Should be fun."

This is what you get for having a daemon as your faculty adviser. Icebreakers.

When that's over - entirely without said daemon participating, he is above this - Michael claps his hands together. "So! Some of you know this already, but this year, we've secured funding to take a club trip! We're going to New York City. Gonna see the sights, go to a few shows, all that stuff. This'll be after mid-terms, so don't worry about it right now. You should be focusing on your schoolwork, and responsible things like that. But seriously, who wants to see what? Oh, and you should pick out the play you want to do in the fall. I do have veto power on that, but I also don't really care."

[He stares at the script for a good minute. This is completely dumb, but he does realize he need to learn to do speaking roles while in the club]

Yellow. Black. Yellow. Back...

[ Well. That's pretty good, for the part of a teenage girl who'd just been rudely awaken and might still be half asleep. ]

The emotions are there! That's good, very good! But you gotta be louder! Remember, we're performing for an audience, and you can't rely on a microphone for everything~ You gotta enunciate! Speak from your stomach!
