Item Description
By taking on The Laramie Project as this year’s Winter Play, Upper School students and faculty delved into important, mature, and substantive topics. The production was a testament to what one student described in a recent blog post as "an overwhelming sense of duty" and responsibility to community and human rights.
In addition to staging the play, Upper School students had the rare opportunity to work with one of the playwrights from Tectonic Theatre Project, Leigh Fondakowski. She Skyped with students, came to WT to hold a workshop with them, and attended one of the performances to do a talk-back with the audience afterward.
THE BIG FINISH: Not only have our students prepared intensively to execute a moving theatre experience, and learned about acting, play writing, and staging, they have also opened their minds to the wider world. The Laramie Project demonstrates the depth and importance of our theatre program, which takes risks, shapes students as human beings, and embraces the arts as a force for progress in our society.
