Mountainside holds weekly drama club meetings for students interested in the performing arts. Details are as follows:
When: Thursdays after school from 2:45-3:30 p.m. Exceptions include dress rehearsals, auditions, show days and holidays.
Where: Mountainside Black Box
Who: Anyone interested in the performing arts. Everyone is welcome and accepted. We also have a Thespian Troupe, see below for details of Thespian Troupe membership requirements. Our meetings are held simultaneously.
The International Thespian Society was founded in 1929 as a way to honor student achievement in theatre. They host yearly events and competitions to provide opportunities for students to showcase their talents and skills both in performance and technical stage craft.
The competitions include individual performance events and technical stage craft events. The performance events include: monologue; duet acting; group acting; solo musical theatre, duet musical theatre; and group musical theatre.
The technical stage craft events include: costume construction, costume design, lighting design, scenic design, short film, sound design, stage management, and theatre marketing.
Mountainside joined International Thespian Society in Winter of 2017 and inducted its first members into Troupe 8602. We are excited to grow our Troupe and get involved in the many opportunities offered by the International Thespian Society.
To become a member, students need to earn 10 points, which equals 100 hours, by being involved in productions and drama club. Mr. Goff can answer detailed questions about this, but the links below will be helpful in understanding how the system works and the requirements.

The Legacy Robe is a long-standing Broadway tradition. On the opening night of every new Broadway show each season, the cast gathers onstage for this ceremony.
The Legacy Robe is awarded to the ensemble member who has the most Broadway credits, and is an enormous honor to receive. Here at Mountainside, we have adapted the Robe to be a celebration of a different kind.
Very early on, we discussed the type of characteristics that we all thought represented the very best of what a MHS Theatre student would be and came up with the following list: Charisma, Kindness, Supportive, Dedication, Spirit, Open-Mindedness, and Humility. For each production, every member of the cast and crew anonymously votes for which member of the cast/crew they feel has been the best example of these characteristics throughout the production and that honored student receives the Legacy Robe.
The Robe also is given a small keepsake that is attached to the robe to represent each show.
This is the timeline for our day at the Regional Acting Competition. Please take a look!
Files coming soon.
