End of the Quarter/Steppenwolf Field Trip

I could not think of a better way to end the first quarter than with a trip to the Steppenwolf Theater! 17 members of the Performing Arts program at Muchin College Prep took a field trip on Saturday October 30th, to see a performance and play adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

We all had awesome seats of the show and enjoyed meeting the actors afterward!
Below are some pictures of our fabulous trip. Thank you so Ms. Mikolich and Mrs. Craft for providing us with this amazing opportunity!

First Day of Oedipus Rex Presentations!

Happy October!
For the past week, we have been reading Oedipus Rex by Sophocles!
As our final project, students have put together their own MODERN DAY rendition of the infamous Greek play.
Yesterday and today were the first days of presentations and they were fabulous! Below are pictures of students acting out scripts that they have written themselves as a group.

Hopefully Monday and Tuesday will bring more wonderful performances. Have a wonderful weekend!
