Ridley Drama Group

Ridley High School is proud of the opportunities it provides for students who wish to participate in the study of dramatic arts, play performance, technical theatre, and musical theatre. Ridley Drama Group, an award-winning extracurricular theatre program, produces two full-length productions on the main stage each year, a festival performance, and a Broadway Cabaret with Ridley Middle School. Students in grades 9-12 are welcome to audition for these productions, or to sign up to be part of one of the technical crews. 

Ridley Drama Group participates in the Cappies of Greater Philadelphia Program and the Philadelphia Independence Awards, which provide reviews of local high school shows and sponsor awards galas every May to honor the performers of the year. 

Students who participate in RDG activities and productions may be eligible for induction into the International Thespian Society. Ridley's ITS Troupe #2103 sponsors many community service projects, produces both shows, performs to raise money for charity, and attends the annual Pennsylvania State Thespian Conference to compete for scholarships and celebrate the arts in Pennsylvania.
