Harvey High counselor leads a post-show discussion with the student body.
I know. It’s been a loooooong time since I posted. And it’s not because I haven’t been reading. I have. And it’s not because I haven’t written or directed any plays. I have. It’s…well, you can guess.
A while back I interviewed some students at Harvey High School in Painesville and wrote a play that addresses the issues they face every day of their lives. James Mango, the director of the Fine Arts Association, then worked with the students and the play was produced for the whole school to see. I saw the final performance. They did a tremendous job.
It was a really cool experience meeting the students and seeing how theatre had a positive effect on them. And it was great watching their fellow students react during the performance. Here’s an article posted in the News Herald about the project. Our picture was on the front page of the newspaper. That’s what I’m talking about. The video is also worth watching and the reader comments are great. I’d like to develop this even further with them, if that were possible…
