Drama Club begins 'Jungle Book' practice

"Jungle Book" cast, sitting in a circle on stage, reads through the script

More than 50 St. Paul students in grades 5-8 met Wednesday after classes for the first practice of “Jungle Book,” this year’s production of the Drama Club.   The play, based on Rudyard Kipling’s books, will be staged March 8-11 in the Parish Activity Center.

Practices will be on Wednesdays and Thursdays though March 1 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.

The “Jungle Book” is very dependent on participation from the chorus groups as each group helps tell the story. Thus, all parts of the play are important.
