We had a really great “Conversation with…” Stevie Walker-Webb today. He’s the Obie award winning director who directed the play, Our Town, that we saw at Center Stage yesterday. There was a very lively discussion about the play covering everything from how it was put together to details and insights that the students had into it. He also provided a lot of insight into the job of a director and his collaborative style of work.

Thank you to all of our friends at Baltimore Center Stage for inviting us to attend the play Our Town today! It was an amazing performance that captivated all of the students. It was entertaining and thought provoking at the same time. This contemporary and homegrown version of the Thornton Wilder work was interpreted and made recognizable for our students by director Stevie-Walker Webb, the actors and all those who put on the performance. The play is running through early October and we unanimously recommend that you go see it!

Tonight had to be one of the best Sponsor/Student meetings we ever had! There was a lot of personal sharing by students, parents and sponsors about overcoming difficulties on the path to success. The support and sense of community were inspiring.

We had a really terrific “Conversation with..” two recent alumni today – Claude Nicholson (Class of ’21) and Ronan Guilfoyle (Class of ’22). They talked about their experiences in college as well as at TCS. The students had a lot of questions about both. Claude and Ronan gave a lot of advice and insight into how to make the most of your years at TCS and how it will prepare you for life and college if you do.
