Our monthly session at The Lyric was a music session with musician Antonio Eyez. Antonio shared about his musical journey growing up in a musical family to becoming a professional musician.  He shared his inspirations including Jimi Hendrix and Prince and asked the students about who inspires them. The students did entries in their journals expressing their reactions to what's troubling them and then several read their words to Antonio's musical accompaniment.  In the second part of the session, Lyric Education Specialist Ebony Evans had the students break into groups, grab costumes and produce a musical video skit.  Everyone had a terrific time unleashing their creativity and learning from Antonio. Our appreciation to Denise Gantt, Ebony Evans and The Lyric for providing so many opportunities for our students over the years. A special thanks to Antonio Eyez for accompanying us on so many of these sessions, but especially for the musical journey he took us on today.  ...

The students unanimously voted to create a volunteer opportunity for Friday, March 14th starting at 1:30 in the afternoon. This is in conjunction with Neumann University's goal of 60,000 service hours in celebration of their 60th anniversary. TCS has had a close relationship with Neumann since we became a state certified high school, and it is where Mr. Tom earned his degree. On the 14th, we will work on the outside of the building painting, potting and planting as well as putting together benches, seating areas and more. We welcome all volunteers, just let us know you're coming. You can also help by donating toward the purchase of plants and benches. We want to add 2 heavy duty benches for the front of the building and they cost $300 each. You can send a check to the school or donate online here: https://tcshighschool.org/donations/generalsupport/ You could also help by supplying snacks and beverages for the volunteers. Thank you!...

Fresh from their lives in Venice, Shylock and Lorenzo walked off the stage and came to the school. The real life actors portraying these characters in the play Everything That Never Happened, Leo Marks and Nic Picou joined us a for a wonderfully enriching Conversation. The students saw their performance on  Wednesday so much of the back and forth was about the characters, storyline and production.  However, the conversation went so much deeper as the actors shared their lives and responded to the many challenges in these troubling and uncertain times.  Students and our guests that included our good friend Hope Hynson from Center Stage shared  their views and concerns openly. The conversation went into overtime because no-one wanted it to end. Thank you Nic and Leo.  it was a true honor to have you join us.  Our continued appreciation to Stevie Walker-Webb, Hope Hynson, Erin Pettigrew and all of our friends at Baltimore Center Stage for enriching our lives....

The students had a unique opportunity yesterday at their monthly Theatre Seminar at The Lyric. Mighty Mark, a platinum-certified producer and DJ who is one of the key figures in Baltimore Club Music, led the students in producing their own track.  He began with an explanation of the Baltimore music scene and its unique club music sound.  The students then worked with Mark laying down various tracks including a rap track by Karla to create their own work. Mark was the music supervisor for the critically acclaimed Dark City Beneath the Beat, a musical documentary that premiered on Netflix.  He proudly hails from Cherry Hill and continues to invest back in the community working in the arts and with young people.  We deeply appreciate Mighty Mark and the time and talent he shared with us. Our continued gratitude to Denise, Ebony and The Lyric for all of the opportunities they create for our students.   https://www.mightymarkadventures.com/...

Baltimore Center Stage delivered once again with their current running play Everything that Never Happened. The students attended the production at the invitation of our wonderful friends at Center Stage. The play is a take on Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice that challenges the anti-semitism in the original story by giving voice to the Jewish characters in the play. The play, at times very humorous and other times deeply moving, added to the rich cultural education that the students receive at TCS. On Friday, actors from the play along with staff from Center Stage will be joining the students for a Conversation about the performance. We are deeply appreciative of our relationship with Baltimore Center Stage and the many opportunities that they provide for our students....

We welcomed our friend Greeyo aka Antwan Hawkins and his crew from LaRae Amoor Universe studio - A.S.E. aka Kevin, Groovy aka Jordan, Cole and Rob the Reaper for a Conversation. This was a very lively and wide ranging discussion sharing life stories, goals, music and media interests and much more. The Conversation was followed by a tour of our facility led by several students. This relationship has been growing since the Fall when we visited them at their studio for a music session, tour and conversation. We are exploring ways of working even more closely together going forward. We are thankful for the wisdom, encouragement and energy that all the folks at LaRae Amoor Universe brought into our building! https://laraeamoor.com/...
