In
My Life
Theatre Workshop’s eighth production. Presented in
June, 1999. |
This show,
again dedicated to our wonderful seniors, many who have now
been a part of the TW family for most of their high school
years, is devoted to exploring the many autobiographical elements
of the performing arts. This includes emphasis on honest student
reflections, scenes and monologues based on the students’
lives and points of view, and musical and dance pieces that
reflect who they are and what they care about. With the dynamite
Jackie Lopez as our TA and the incredible Ricky Amaya as our
assistant director (both former TW students), the performers
are encouraged to increase their hard work and discipline
in order to raise the professional quality of this show even
higher.
Highlights include two music and dance numbers from West Side
Story: "Dance at the Gym" and "America".
Also, our first full-scale rap number with the raps written
entirely by the students performing; "Stayin’ Alive"
— a fun and colorful disco number performed by a mix
of teachers (who actually remember the 70s) and the students;
a beautifully sung scene from Miss Saigon; a comic scene for
seniors prior to graduation looking back at some of their
most memorable school moments; a beautiful and energetic Armenian
dance performed by an ethnically mixed group of students;
and a exuberant and joyful large group dance celebrating the
World Cup Celebration, complete with bright flags from all
nations represented by the students on stage.
Continuing
its participation in community service projects, TW performs
several dance numbers at the graduation ceremony for Marshall’s
Parent Institute, as well as participating in The American
Cancer Society’s National Smoke-Out Day.
