About Us |

The Alfred State Drama Club is committed to providing entertainment, both on stage and off, to the Alfred State campus and surrounding community. Typically, the Drama Club puts on two or three shows per year, ranging from musicals to Shakespeare, social-issues plays to comedies. Students are invited to get involved in any aspect of drama production. A successful production needs people to be acting on stage, performing backstage operations, (assistant) directing, operating lighting and/or sound boards, creating costumes and props, applying make-up, or designing/building sets. Drama Club officers -- president, vice president, secretary, public relations, and treasurer -- are vital to the operation of the club and show production. The ideal Drama Club member is hard-working, imaginative, dedicated to producing fantastic performances, and excited about working with other students to stage the best show possible. Every year, the club attends at least one professional theater production. Club members are active in ASC life in many ways, from attending Homecoming/Family Weekend events and being involved with Hot Dog Day celebrations to lending their theater experience to on- and off-campus events. Contact Janna Buckwalter, Drama Club adviser, to get involved. |

Janna Buckwalter, director of drama and Drama Club adviser, joined Alfred State College in 2010. Instilled with a love of music and theater from an early age, Buckwalter has been performing since she was a child. After earning a degree in music from Messiah College, Buckwalter taught music in the Rochester City School District before returning to Alfred and falling in love with theater. She has been actively involved in local theater at the community and university levels for the last four years, working with both local and professional directors. Her favorite part of directing is seeing each individual’s energy, ideas, and creativity come together to tell a single story. BuckwaJB@alfredstate.edu |
