Get To Know the Cast of Nickelodeon’s Newest Series “Drama Club” (Watch)

Warm up your vocal cords, thespians! We found your new favorite TV show and it’s Nickelodeon’s mockumentary-style comedy series Drama Club.

On Saturday, March 20, the curtains rose and the world was introduced to Tookus Middle School Drama Club where they showed off not just their jazz hands and box squares, but how they are stepping up their game to be the best extracurricular on campus, too.

Students of Tookus Middle School might know Mack (Telci Huynh) for her starring roles in their drama productions, but this year the resilient and determined actress is taking on the responsibility as a student director and she’s ready to bring the department to new heights. In the first episode, Mack flexes her problem-solving skills as she tries to find a new choreographer in a short amount of time.

“Mackenzie is definitely this headstrong-driven girl. She’s very passionate about what she does,” says Telci in an exclusive Celeb Secrets interview. “She’s very supportive of all her friends in the drama club and she definitely takes on the leader role and helps everybody as they go on through the journey of middle school.”

Mack and her fellow classmates – Nathan Janak (Oliver), Lili Brennan (Darcy), Kensington Tallman (Bianca), and Artyon Celestine (Skip), turns to the star football player Chase Vacnin (Bench) to save the day and to fill in as choreographer after their lead dancer gets injured!

Bench enters drama rehearsal with a coach-like mindset to whip the cast into tip-top shape, in order to get them ready to perform for their new principal, who happens to be a former professional dancer. Their goal is to gain respect and support from their principal to make their organization the best it has ever been.

“I am now the dance captain because the other dance captain got injured. I’m running this dance practice as if I’m the coach. All I know is ‘Okay, do it again!’ but, it’s really super funny because he’s so out of place and everyone’s looking at him like ‘do we have to do this?’ ‘This is what we have to do?’ shared Chase, while explaining his first day as captain.
