STOVER PLAYERS

Sponsored by Jamie Yung

The Stover Players Speech and Drama Team is a place where kids can express their artistic talent and passion for performance.  The team competes in competitions throughout the year, including hosting its own.  At these competitions the students can compete in eight individual categories, two duet categories, and at the district level they can also compete in the ensemble categories, Reader’s Theatre and One-Acts.  The organization also sponsors a spring play every year and has recently added a night of honor and performance called Oscar Night.

The team has had consistent efforts in the last five years, bringing home several first place all team trophies, including 1^st in conference three times in the last five years, they are also currently the 2005 conference champions and are battling to keep their standing in the 2006 year.  They have also had the honor of individually placing at districts, and thus, qualifying several categories and students to state competition.

All in all, the success of the Stover Players is not just shown through the medals on the kid’s jackets and the trophies on the shelf, but the growth in confidence you see from the members of this group.  We laugh, smile, cry for dramatic effect, and continue to strive forward with our traditional saying of, “Play on Playas!”
