Black Box performs its annual Rep. Theatre Show
“Shadows in the Asylum” was held March 28-30 as the annual spring Black Box production put on by the Repertory Theatre.
“It was so different playing a patient in an asylum compared to the sweet, bubbly girls I’m used to playing in musicals,” junior Lauren Mylin said. “I loved how strong and stubborn Kari was. But it was hard sometimes having to keep a blank, creepy stare for most of the show. There was also a lot of screaming and bruises.”
The show followed a young girl Kari Hansen, played by Mylin, who was admitted into an insane asylum where she began having “vivid hallucinations” while Dr. Marsh (played by senior Hersh Ellis) began believing these were true.
“Our last show we sold out, added more chairs, and still had to turn more people away,” Mylin said. “I had people in the audience an arm’s-length away from where I was.”
“Maul of the Dead” is the next time to see a production by the theatre department on April 25-27 in the main theatre.
School Library Month takes place throughout April
All during April, the library will be celebrating School Library Month.
“We’re really hoping this brings more attention to the library,” junior Marriam Hassan said. “People don’t understand how awesome our library really is, and this is just a chance to showcase it even more.”
Even though students use the library for school projects and the computers, the Breakfast Club hopes this encourages students to come to the library for entertainment and not just because they have to.
“The library staff does so much to help give students the resources to succeed,” Hassan said. “This is just a chance to give back to them and hopefully gain some more members to the Library Breakfast Club, too.”
The club meetings are held on late arrival Thursday.
Freshman gets opportunity to reach her dreams
Over spring break, freshman Izabella Borowiak-Miller was chosen to attend Disney’s Dreamers Academy, which helps youth harness the power of their dreams. Borowiak-Miller comes from a family of 12 and based most of her essay off of her own experiences.
“While I was at the academy I met several people who gave me tips about the future,” she said. “I want to help people in some way.”
Out of several thousand applicants, only about 100 were chosen to go to the Disney’s Dreamers Academy.
“I want kids who are getting bullied to find friends,” she said. “For example when you see someone at lunch who is sitting by themselves go sit by them. I also want other people to know that if you have a dream you can achieve it all you need is a little help to start it.”
