As you heard from the ITS Theater Officers recently, Rashi is a member in good standing not only with the International Thespian Society (ITS), but also (METG) which is the Massachusetts Education Theater Guild.  METG has been around for a long time and was originally just a High School Organization that ran the HS Theater Festival in Massachusetts. Over the years it has developed a Middle School Division that runs workshops, Theater Contests and MS Festival as well as a Boston Initiative and the MET (musical) Awards.  You may hear the students talking about "Festival" which we run out of In School MS Electives program.  Middle Schools from around the state hold a 2 day festival at 6-7 host sites and each school presents a 40 minute play that is adjudicated by professionals. The students earn All-Star Awards as well as Bronze, Silver or Gold Medals for the school.  It isn't as competitive as the High School Festival where schools move on from Preliminaries to Sem...

 A group of Middle School Students in grades 6-8 were able to attend the American Repetory Theater's production of "Life of Pi" recently. This production is currently in preview before it goes to its new home in New York at the Gerald Shoenfeld Theater in March 2023.  The story was adapted from the novel by Yann Martel for the stage and first opened in London and is the winner of 5 Olivier Awards (equivalent to our Tony Awards).  We were able to see it at the A.R.T. in Cambridge during its North American Debut and after the performance there was a demonstration on how they make and use the puppets for the show.

Not only was the puppetry demonstration interesting, but they brought life to th...

 The Middle School After School Drama Elective will be presenting "A Wrinkle in Time" on Wednesday, Nov. 16th at 1:15 and Thursday, Nov. 17th at 7PM.  The students have been hard a work over the last seven weeks working on auditioning for parts,  technical designs for scenery, sound and costumes, staging the scenes and working on lots of tongue twisters as well as focusing and acting exercises. Students in the tech program afterschool start their rehearsals with the cast doing the warm-ups and exercises together.  Many of the MS students work tech for one show and then act on stage for another during the season.  This way everyone has a chance to gain some acting skills as well as building team cooperative skills. " This week in tech we did a lot with the help and supervision of Mike and we built set pieces." - Arlo Rogloff - 8th Grade.  Students work with Tech Director, Mike Finke on the proper and safe use of power tools and use these tools to build many ...
