The Year Ends...

Hey Guys,

I want to thank you all for any amazing experience in musical theater this year. Throughout the entire year it was a little rough but we were all able to come together, set our differences asides and become united. I hope you all have amazing summers. Good luck to all of you who have been accepted into summer programs and all you seniors who are going to college. For all the seniors good luck with everything you do in life. Remember nothing beats failure but a try. I hope many of you continue to do musical theater and enjoy it as much as I do. Congratulations to all of you for a great school year. I'm glad that it is over (Jr year is too difficult.) Hope you all have wonderful summers. Good Luck with everything!

The THINK THEATER PROJECT come to HSES!

On Wednesday June 10th, the actors and teaching artists from The Think Theater Project performed a staged reading of Peacemaker, by David Holman.



The reading took place at The High School for Environmental Studies, for an audience of acting students from the musical theater class.




The students participated in pre and post show activities as well as reading the stage directions during the performance. Through dialogue and movement improvisation exercises, the audience identified and connected with the themes of the play.




Some themes explored were social injustice, prejudice, and acceptance.

A Very Special Thank You To A Statement Arts Hero- MOLLY STOCKLEY!

I would to thank Ms DeFalco, Ms Politi, Statement Arts and especially you, Ms Molly Stockley, because without people like yourself, Statement Arts could not have succeeded the way it has. You have helped students like myself find the courage and bravery to follow our dreams and hearts. And without your help, this would not be possible. Since the age of 7, I had one dream, and that was to perform. When I turned 13, out of luck, I ended up going to Environmental Studies. I will always consider me going to Environmental Studies as one of the biggest blessings in my life. Had I not gone there, I would have never met Ms Defalco or Ms Politi. And without the creation of Statement Arts, I would not have never had the courage to follow my dreams. This organization has been a big inspiration in my life. You have also given us the brains to maker smart decisions on the road we choose to follow.
On behalf of the students and myself I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the hard work you have done make our dreams come true.
