Missed all of Roosevelt's Mary Poppins since it overlaps Garfield's run. But I did see their work in progress at the State Thespian Festival! I know they have graduated some students who have gone on to professional work, as has Garfield. Nathan Hale and Ballard have excellent programs too, and I believe Rainier Beach is starting up a program. <br /><br />Melissa, you are spot on with your comment. Our theatre teachers -- all of our arts teachers -- are an incredible asset to the district. Amazing learning happens in theatre classes and programs, lifelong skills are developed, and for many kids it is what keeps them engaged in their school and other classes. And yes, major shoutout to the parents who support the hard work put in by students and teachers! Thank goodness Seattle has a love for the arts, we are all better for it.GarfieldMomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-56339238059359420712015-05-29T11:20:54.472-07:002015-05-29T11:20:54.472-07:00I will just say that except for the drama teachers...I will just say that except for the drama teachers/advisers and INCREDIBLY generous and dedicated parents, most of this theater activity would not happen.

If I didn't know better, I'd think the kids were professional ringers. Good to see a Broadway musical with the very large cast they were written for.<br /><br />Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260807460417787614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-18636493868279527232015-05-29T09:04:14.656-07:002015-05-29T09:04:14.656-07:00Very wonderfully ambitious of Garfield.
