Performances

The best way to assess the work that we do in class and develop students’ performance skills as well, is to have regular performances.We will have two mandatory performances and two optional performances.

·Mandatory Performances

o Showcase performance of student created performance pieces every December.

o Spring Production comes usually the second week of May

·Optional Performances

o Thrill the World at the Redmond Town Center, right before Halloween every year

o Annual Renaissance Talent Show Usually in February
