The students attended one of the best plays any of us have ever seen today! We saw Mexodus at Center Stage. It’s only showing through the weekend but if you can get tickets, we highly recommend it!
It is a musical masterpiece utilizing various genres including hip hop to tell the little told story of the underground railroad of those escaping slavery who went to Mexico.
The multi-talented playwrights Nygel Robinson and Brian Quijada were also the actors in this two person captivating play.
We deeply appreciate our long relationship with Baltimore Center Stage who invite us to attend several of their plays every year.
Stay tuned for more on this tomorrow!
The writing talent, skills and creativity of students at The Community School have been developed through weekly sessions with writing teacher and mentor Don Riesett. Every week, students develop a work and share it with the class that culminates in producing three portfolios a year.
Each year our students have been recognized in the Maryland Regional Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. This year was no exception and TCS students have more award winners with more works recognized than any other year.
Congratulations Rhys, Madison, Danny, Kendall, Ethan, Karla, Hector, Sam, Mohamed, Quinn, Ruth and Fatima! Thank you Mr. Don!
