The Drama Club’s student thespians offered three spectacular performances this year starting with its fall performance of Peter and the Starcatcher in The Z Theatre. In the spring, our thespians, stage crew and musicians presented four performances of Tarzan: The Stage Musical over two weekends. The efforts of Liz Barrios ‘24, Starnia Bleus ‘23, Juli Davis ‘24 and Paloma Paz ‘24 garnered them a nomination in the Outstanding Achievement in Hair & Makeup Design category in this year’s 2023 Bobby G Awards for their work on Tarzan. This is the fifth time since 2019 the school has earned at least one Bobby G nomination and the fourth time an RJ Theatre musical has received a Bobby G nomination. The club rounded out the year with three performances of the student-written and directed play Two Idiots in Cleveland in May.
