Multiple members of the cast recently promoted the upcoming musical at the annual Parrish Heritage Parade on March 7. Their float even won first place!
Theatre One and Three classes presented their showcase “Hamlet Thrill-Ma-Geddon" on February 17. The showcase was a remarkable hit with a near full house audience. This was the first chance for theatre one students to perform live on stage in an after-school setting.
This quarter also saw the culmination of Stage Sharks, which is an after-school program for elementary students. It was run by thespians Hailey Lipham (Sr.) and Morgyn Martin (Jr.). This program included students doing songs from a variety of junior musicals, such as Frozen and the Little Mermaid. This was a show of different songs, mashed up into one initially showcasing these young students talents and showing the dedication they all have.
Before this hard work began, some theater students had the opportunity to visit New York, described as a “one-of-a-kind" trip at the beginning of January. They were joined by choir students to experience city life. This trip included sing-along diners, a trip around time square, two Broadway shows, which were Aladdin and The Great Gatsby, and an amazing Broadway workshop with an experienced Broadway dancer.
Da’rion Whipper (Sr.), a Bulls Theatre Company thespian, was one of the many students who went on the New York City trip.
“We got to watch The Great Gatsby the night Jeremy Jordan was playing which was super cool to be able to experience,” Whipper said. “We got to do lots of sightseeing and explore Times Square. Since I'm in choir, I also got to sing in the cathedrals, which was such an amazing experience. We also got to do a workshop with Broadway cast members from Aladdin, which we also got to see live.”
There is more to come from the Bulls Theatre Company, but for now stay tuned for more events and make sure to check out tickets for Cinderella!
