The students took a trip going back a hundred and fifty years to the American exploration of the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon in the Center Stage play Men on Boats. This comedic play was a unique journey combining the major explorers of the time into one fierce, event filled story down the river.

After nine weeks of intensive creative writing process, the students have completed their plays! For today’s final session, each student presented an excerpt of their writing.

This was a fun way to celebrate all of the students’ hard work and showcase their creativity. In January, the students will be submitting their pieces to Baltimore Center Stage along with other young creatives from second grade to twelfth grade. Up to six plays will be selected to receive a professional production at Center Stage. We are proud of our student’s work this past nine weeks and even if they don’t get selected, it is impressive to be able to say that you have written a play!
