Dramat Archive

The production photos below represent work undertaken by the Westminster dramatic association. "Dramat," as the organization is known, produces two major productions each year - a play in the fall and a musical in the winter. The programs offers the students involved in the productions, and the entire school community, a wide range of styles and genre. The objective, over the course of a four year span, is for the community to experience a comedy, a dramatic piece, a classic play and a more contemporary offering. A wide range of musical styles, from campy 1920s shows to rock n' roll from the 1960s, is selected and typically performed by student and faculty musicians for the Dramat's musicals.
 
Working in the magnificent Werner Centennial Center for the Performing Arts, Dramat strives for the highest production values possible. Collaborating with professional scenic, lighting, costume and makeup designers Westminster's program exposes students to a complete production experience.
