Original Creative Team

Talley Drama's creative team consists of a group of people who are eager to help students realize their potential as both performers and their role in a larger community of people focused on a collective goal . The entire creative team wears multiple hats in order to get the production up and running. Every year they push themselves a little further in hopes of elevating the drama club even more. We are always thankful for the support of the Talley community, which includes our administrators, faculty and staff, and families because without them we could not do all that we do.
