We are extremely excited and proud of the amazing work our Theater team has been putting into their upcoming performances to occur on April 13th (alongside our band and chorus performances). This semester's show, as stated last semester, will consist of three student-written scenes. These scenes were written by: Juniors Clara Young and Riley Legault, and 8th grader Jaylin Beebee. In addition to writing, Clara will also be directing her scene. We could not be prouder of these three students, and we look forward to the performances that our actors will put on for everyone!
Here are the scenes they will be performing:
The Average Night of a High School Junior - Written and directed by Clara Young
The Doppelganger - Written by Riley Legault and Selena Meyer
Dog in the Woods - Written by Jaylin Beebee
