Upper School drama students took to the stage of Benjamin Hall for an evening of student directed one act plays. “The Revolutions Festival,” hosted on February 10 and 11, featured student producers, directors and actors in six one act plays.

“Most of these plays were created over a course of months in an English elective titled Page to Stage, which we offer in the fall. We also decided to give other students outside the class the opportunity to write and submit plays for our first ever Revolutions Festival,” said faculty supervisor Tom Bazar.

“Watching the students, from the early drafts of the play, to auditions and rehearsals, rekindled my passion for what the theater and the arts can do. I saw a different level of ownership, dedication, purpose and collaborative effort from these youngsters that is truly revolutionary.”

Congratulations to all of the TBS student directors, writers and actors for a job well done!
