Imagine walking into a school where students are confident speakers, creative problem-solvers, and empathetic teammates. That's not a fantasy—that's what happens when schools prioritize theater education…
I was sitting in class, opening my computer, when a classmate walked up to the teacher with shocking news: they're removing polymorphism from the AP Computer Science curriculum….
Being a part of 'Les Examables' at BIM was such a fun and rewarding experience! There was one particular song that truly became a highlight for me, and I was absolutely thrilled with how much the audience loved it. Performing in this hilarious satire was a joy from start to finish, and I'm incredibly proud that my work in this show led to my induction into the Thespian Society!
Playing Miss Trunchbull in Matilda Jr. (a role I took unexpectedly) was my toughest, most rewarding—my polar opposite! Performing 'Smell of Rebellion' pushed my boundaries. The experience was profoundly transformative: it solidified my theatre passion, shaped my confidence, and paved the way for leading roles. My teachers' surprised compliments on my on-stage persona wonderfully affirmed this growth and transformation.
Excerpt from Matilda Jr. at Basis Independent McLean: Taking on Ms Trenchbull role. My role in this song was a fantastic part of the show, full of energy and storytelling. So proud of this performance!
Performing 'Dangerous to Dream' as a lead in Frozen Jr. at BIM was such a special moment. The song itself speaks so much to facing your fears and hopes, which mirrored exactly how I felt – so excited for this dream role, yet so nervous! It was an amazing feeling to channel all those emotions into the performance. Hearing the wonderful feedback afterwards and knowing I'd overcome my anxieties made it an experience I'll never forget.
Channeling my inner ice queen for 'Let It Go'! Performing this powerful song as the lead at BIM was truly incredible. The energy from the audience was amazing, and it meant the world to see how much the kids loved it. The moments we shared during the post-show pictures were the perfect ending to such a memorable performance. So grateful for this experience!
