Help Save Our Seats!!!

Drama Club to help get new Auditorium Seats!

Picture
Parents of Royal Oak students have been saying it for years!  These seats hurt our seats!!  Or behinds.  Or backsides.  Whatever you want to call what you sit on, the result is the same.  Our auditorium has had the same seats for 57 years.  So some Drama Club Boosters along with Boosters from the Choir, Band and Orchestra have banded together to SAVE OUR SEATS.  The organization is callled ROSPAC (Royal Oak Schools Performing Arts Committee).  They have a website a www.rospacfund.org and we just need to raise $100,000.00 by this time next year.  When Royal Oak Schools upgrades the Auditorium, we will help by buying the seats!!

2014-15 Season Ends with Celebration
Drama Club Banquet

The Royal Oak High School Drama Club 2014 - 2015 year end banquet was held on May 20th at Farina's Banquet Center in Berkley. Parents and children sat in close quarters while we celebrated a year of two incredible performances and the One Act festival. The evening started with Ed Nahhat and Kara Barbieri sharing the schedule of the evening. After eating the seniors shared their last thoughts with us. Some tears were shed but only because parents and friends will miss them next year.   See all of the pictures here!!

CYRANO!
Standing Ovation!

It's always bittersweet after the final performance.  Everyone involved is flooded with the feeling of a job well done.  But you also realize that another chapter in your life is complete and you may never have this experience with these people ever again.  That's what the cast and crew of Cyrano feels now after a great three show run the weekend of March 27, 28 and 29.  So let's just revel in the great performances that took place on the stage of the Royal Oak High School Auditorium and know that everyone who came to see Cyrano was part of the show, the experience, the moment!.  Because without the audience, the theater is just a stage.  Thank you everyone who came out and saw the show, and especially to all of the hard working parents, teachers, coaches, volunteers and to our directors.  We will never be able to thank you enough.   Here's looking forward to the One Acts and our 2015-16 season!!!

Oklahoma!  
"Another Great Show!!

The Royal Oak High School Drama Club completed their production of Oklahoma! to a very lively Sunday Afternoon crowd.  As the curtain went down all you could see and hear were cheers and tears ... of joy.  The set has been struck, the props put away and everyone is taking a moment to enjoy the memories, knowing it is only a short 6 weeks before the production of Cyrano de Bergerac begins with auditions.

We hope to see you all again soon.  
Here's the cast and crew of the Royal Oak High School Drama Club's Fall 2014 Production of Oklahoma! getting crazy during one of their final rehearsals.  Click here to see all the back stage action!
