Extracurricular Theater Management at Silo 1 State Middle School

Abstract

This study examines the management of theater extracurricular activities at Silo 1 State Junior High School, known as Teater Zero. The background of the study is based on the success of this theater in attracting the attention of the community and local government through colossal drama performances at official events in Jember Regency. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study method through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that planning was carried out systematically at the beginning of the school year by involving supervisors, coaches, and extracurricular administrators; the implementation of activities was structured through routine practice, discipline management, and full support from the school; while evaluation was carried out continuously through self-assessment and coach assessment after the performance. These findings confirm that theater extracurricular management at Silo 1 State Junior High School is able to shape character, improve communication skills, and foster student self-confidence. This study contributes to an in-depth understanding of best practices in theater extracurricular management at the junior high school level and can be used as a model for other educational institutions in optimizing extracurricular activities
