High School's drama students gather after school
on a small stage in a common area of the school
called The Mall. Rehearsing for an upcoming
production of "Bye Bye Birdie," they compete to be
heard over the bouncing of basketballs, slamming
of lockers and a zamboni-like machine that washes
the floors. The school doesn't have a theater, so
drama students face endless interruptions during
rehearsals. The Mall also serves as a cafeteria
and garbage is left on the stage daily. The
school's
Drama Teacher, Emily Holke refers to the area as a
"cafetorium. "The students are always asking me why
we don't have a theater," said Holke. "We are the
only school in the Capistrano School district without
one."
