Learn about LHS PLAYMAKERS
The Playmakers club would like to welcome you to the 2014-2015 school year. Playmakers is Liberty’s only
theatre arts/drama club and we would like to invite you to become a part of our very active and highly-regarded program.
Any student who meets the district eligibility requirements can audition or work on a crew for our play or
musical. You do not need to be a member of Playmakers to participate in these productions! However, there are LOTS
of good reasons for becoming a member of Playmakers!
PROVISIONAL MEMBERSHIP*
When you fill out the Playmakers Membership Information form, you become a Provisional Member for the current
school year. Provisional Members can:
 keep a record of their hours of work for Playmakers in our binder so we know when they have reached the 10
hours that qualifies them for Permanent Membership
 serve on Playmakers committees (Tech, Costume, Scrapbook, Fundraising, etc.)
 walk with Playmakers in the Homecoming Parade (September 12)
PERMANENT MEMBERSHIP*
You become a Permanent Member
 if you are a current Executive Council member OR
 you purchase a Playmakers Bundle Pack** OR
 you work 10 hours (rehearsals, tech work, service hours).
Permanent Membership is only good for the current school year. Permanent Members can:
 audition for the Improvisation (Improv) Team.
 earn points toward a Liberty Theatre Arts Letter, membership in the International Thespian Society (an honor
society for theatre students) and other awards.
 vote in Playmakers elections (Shakespeare Finalists, Executive Council, etc.)
 run for Executive Council (our officers). Elections are held in May for the following year.
*Participation in any Playmakers activity and membership in the club is dependent on meeting district
