Hello JPT Drama Club friends! I'm Libby D'Orvilliers, and I am the Drama Club Treasurer. Theatre has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I joined the JPT drama scene last year after attending Ramblewood Middle School. Other than participating in as many theatre activities as possible, some of my favorite activities include: doing Pilates and yoga, experimenting in the fashion world, and listening to audiobooks. I cannot wait to get to know everyone and to hear all of your ideas and excitement about Taravella's theatre program!

Kayla LaCerra

Hello! I'm Kayla, Drama Club Recording Secretary! I have been in the theatre world for 8 years and it has become my whole life. I spend several hours a day listening to musicals (a lot of Book of Mormon). Besides Drama, I enjoy playing with my dog, going to Orlando, eating Mac and Cheese, and buying new socks. I'm probably the happiest person you'll ever meet, so never be afraid to come up and talk to me! :)

I can't wait to take so many happy pictures of all of our amazing club members! So excited for this amazing year! :)

2018-2019 Taravella Show Season

(Drumroll Please!)

Sweet Charity

This 1960s Fosse classic -with music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and a book by Neil Simon- ran on the Taravella stage from November 1-3. The laugh-a-minute musical followed the journey of Charity Hope Valentine, a New York taxi dancer, as she marched through Italian celebrities, the Coney Island Parachute Jump, and a hippie-jazz cult, all in her quest for love. The performance was loved by the wonderful audience who came.

Two Precious Maidens Ridiculed

This mid-1600s Moliere farce with a deceiver-deceived plot acted as Taravella's One Act for district competition. The satire was originally written as comedic commentary on specific groups in Parisian society, but its hilarious critiques of human flaws still resonated with modern audience. Two Precious Maidens has been selected to represent District 7 at the Florida state competition, and won several awards, including Best Tech, Best Actor (Nick Ismailoff), and Best Actress (Kimberly Sessions).

Rehearsal at Versailles + Two
Precious Maidens Ridiculed

In this one act, the French king's court is bustling with actors, critics, and, of course, Moliere himself, as the playwright attempts to put together a never-before rehearsed play for the nobles in under an hour. Along with Two Precious Maidens, the Moliere comedies were performed together as JPT's straight play on January 10th.
