HOLLYWOOD, Calif.--March 3, 2021--The curtains have risen on Nickelodeon’s new mockumentary-style comedy series Drama Club.

However, when their choreographer suffers an injury, the kids quickly realize that their only hope to save the situation is to turn to a rival on their school’s beloved football team for help.
