At belltower the stage is very, very small, it is around ¼ the size of seniors, and the height difference is even greater. The amount of people Senior can fit in its auditorium is also significantly larger. Theis is not to say one is better than the other, like I said earlier they have performed the same shows on the very different stages.
Another way they're different is the directors and the way they direct. Seniors directors are, Arron Dean, Megan Schumacher, and Steve Slade. Belltowers are, Sue Flogel, Evan heil, and Megan Lenstra. Each theater has very good directors, they also direct very differently. Belltowers are more student based which means, the actors are freer to make changes based on how they feel the characters should be. Seniors is significantly different, you are told to do one thing then expected to memorize it and do it. Both are effective in their own way.
Belltower has many schools coming together to make up their shows, schools like Hempstead, galena, Wahlert, East Dubuque, West Dubuque, and also, Senior. But, at Senior it's just kids from senior, so there's not as much interaction with other schools.
So Belltower and Senior are quite similar and different. But it doesn’t mean one is necessarily better than the other. I'm glad to say that I'm involved in
