About Us

Clifford School Drama is a group of parent volunteers who are supporting our children and school to provide an outstanding, well rounded education for Redwood City's Clifford School.

We really appreciate our school staff and faculty for helping us prepare for our children's performance. In these tight budgetary times, every bit of assistance really makes a difference.
