See Our "Prep Caliber" Arts

In Reason #6 of my last post, I mentioned how Boston Magazine wrote about the arts programs at CRLS as "prep caliber."

If you want to see why, there are two chances coming up soon.

The CRLS drama club made it to the state finals this year for the first time in six years. They perform "Charlotte's Web" this Friday night at the Back Bay Center in Boston.

Next Wednesday and Thursday night, the CRLS Modern Dance Co. performs new dances by students, faculty and guest artists in the CRLS auditorium. Both performances start at 7:30 p.m. and admission is free.

The Modern Dance Co., BTW, was just selected in a competitive process to be one of only seven student groups from across the country performing at the National School Board Association's annual conference in April. They will be travelling to San Francisco and will perform Monday evening April 16 in the Mascone Center. Dance teacher Mila Thigpen submitted the winning portfolio including a DVD of their work.
