The Hillsdale drama department has always been such a welcoming place. Ever since I was an eighth grader auditioning for intermediate drama I knew I had found my home at Hillsdale. And I have continued to grow as a student actor, and person along with all my classmates.

The classes for drama are really fun, you get to interact with people who you never talked to in your life and still feel like like you known them for a long time. You get to read plays and act out scripts that you like. - Hillsdale Drama Student
