Los Angeles Drama Club has been in residence as an after-school program at New West Charter since 2019. Students electing to participate pay a small fee (scholarships are provided to all Title I students, and are available to others on application), and are cast in a Shakespeare production. In addition to rehearsing the play, students receive instruction in vocal technique, movement technique and Shakespearean text work. The session culminates in two public performances.
