On Thursday, 2月 17, The 电竞app 剧院 Collective debuted their winter musical, 芝加哥:高中版, and sold out its Friday and Sunday performances! From the stunning costumes and lighting design to the captivating performances, the cast and crew poured their hearts and souls into bringing this hugely entertaining, 令人眼花缭乱的故事.

多样性与文化分享 is a new performing arts course for the winter trimester designed to celebrate the diversity of cultures represented by each person in our community. 在这门课上, students will explore and exchange their personal stories and those of their ancestors through music, 跳舞, 诗歌, 首歌, 和讲故事. The performance aspect will be cultivated from a regular practice of sharing with each other and will culminate with a music and 跳舞 concert at the end of the trimester.
