Abstract
This study aims to determine the influence of practice-based active learning on students' interest and response in learning local culture in drama classes. The research was conducted at public universities in Indonesia using two active learning strategies. Qualitative methods using participatory techniques, interviews, and observations were carried out in collecting data for this study. The sample of this research is fifty drama class students. The analysis of data was done after the drama classes ended, which was marked by the process of assessing student learning outcomes through stage performances. This study showed a statistically significant increase in students' interest and response to learning local culture through collaborative learning methods and role-play in drama classroom learning. This study recommends adopting an active learning strategy in teaching local cultural materials to students. Further research is recommended on designing different active learning strategies with other variables and in different locations.

Summary
The decrease in knowledge over the last ten years about local culture among the younger generation is a major problem being faced by the Indonesian state (Shomiyatun, 2019); (Darmansa et al, 2019); (Houtman, 2017); (Priatna, 2017). Local culture is something that is complex and has characteristics that are manifested through language, customs, beliefs, traditions, clothing, lifestyle, art, and morals (Kanoksilapatham, 2020); (Lin et al, 2018). This is in keeping with what Ucar states, that local culture is the main determining factor that encourages one to make decisions that are different from others (Ucar, 2016). Local cultural values are no longer a referent in adolescent social behaviour This shifting of the place of local culture is an inevitable phenomenon in people’s lives (Bahrudin et al, 2017). This phenomenon has the potential to alienate teenagers from their local culture
