PHS Drama Club Leadership Duties

 

General Duties of ALL OF LEADERSHIP:

  • Maintain good academic standing.  
  • Attend all leadership meetings throughout the school year. 
  • Additionally, as a leader, displaying promptness is important in developing a strong troupe.  Two tardies or one unexcused absence will result in a warning.  After that, a third tardy or second unexcused absence may result in a removal from your position.
  • In order to be an effective leader, it is important for officers to attend Pope Theatre sponsored events. This includes: Drama Club Meetings, Greyhound Madness, Club Rush days, Fundraising Spirit Nights, Pawscars, Shows (Flash Play, One Act, Fall Family Show, and the Spring Musical), etc.  Leadership members should make it a priority to attend all events.  If a leadership member is unable to attend a particular event, they should immediately inform the other leadership members as well as the faculty sponsor.
  • All leadership members are responsible for recruiting new Drama Club members and people to audition for the shows whenever possible.
  • They should always seek ways to make PHS Theater more relevant for as much of the student body as possible while maintaining our core mission of providing high quality theatre in an enjoyable environment.
  • All leadership members should be of high ethical character. They are to refrain from becoming embroiled in the typical teen “drama” and strive to create peace and harmony within the troupe.  Good leaders always strive to create and maintain a unified group. 
  • Leadership is expected to attend and facilitate at least 90% of activities that are run by the club
