Throughout the school year, the REV Theater Company collaborates with our students in grades K- 8, providing enriching theatrical experiences. In the elementary grades, students explore key concepts, themes, and audience etiquette, while middle school students in grades 6 - 8 have the opportunity to write original plays and submit them to Echoes, a creative writing competition where selected works are performed on stage.
Congratulations to all of our young playwrights for their hard work and creativity. We are proud of the way our students continue to embrace the arts and share their voices through storytelling. A special thank you to the REV Theater Company for their continued partnership and commitment to inspiring the next generation of writers and performers.
