Today and this evening the Triple Threat Theatre Company and the Woodhaven Glee Singers performed at the Horizon Stage. This afternoon students from school had the opportunity to view the performance and tonight it was open to the public. I am making an admission here... I, the principal, am not able to attend. I have been covering classes for Ms. Neumann and was unable to go tonight. I hate missing productions. Why do I hate missing? Performance is one way that we are able to test ourselves by taking risks. I am so impressed that Mr. Tokarsky, Ms. Nuemann on the drama side and Mrs. Morris who directs the Glee singers, can get the students prepared and comfortable enough to see beyond the risk and really perform.
There was one thing Mr. Tokarsky told me today that speaks to the power of performance and how our students step up to the challenge. One girl in the Theatre Company from Greystone has a very commanding stage voice. Mr. T witnessed a girl from Woodhaven and another Greystone girl go up to her and ask, "Will you teach us to project the way you do?" Kids teaching kids is a powerful thing. They want to get better each time out.
Well done performers! Wish I could have been there.
