Michael Ross and Adena Varner of Baltimore Center Stage theater led our discussion for today’s Conversation With. Mr. Ross is the Executive Director of Center Stage, and Ms. Varner is the Director of Education. They talked about their jobs, the plays that have impacted their lives, and how they can relate their own life experiences to theater. Ms. Varner also treated the students to a song, demonstrating her vocal talent. “I enjoyed the Conversation with today. I really enjoyed both of their stories, especially Mr. Michael’s because how a play changed his life. I never knew that it took a lot of work to make a play happen. One of the things that I found interesting was that if one of the main people were sick, the play still had to go on. So, they had to do a whole lot of research to find someone to do that part,” said Jordan, a senior. “I always wanted me to act but I just never knew any places that could teach me and them coming in could give me that opportunity and maybe in some of their plays. They also kind of changed my perspective of how I view plays and musicals because I use to hate musicals but how much work they put in made me appreciate them even more. Over the weekend I’m going to look into their programs that they have,” said 10th grader Salma. ...

Read what some of the students thought about today’s Conversation With: “I love today’s conversation with Mr. Jeff Elkin. He talked about what he does with his business, Advanced Buisness Systmes. Advanced is a complete business solutions provider. Mr. Jeff Elkin also talked about how he went into the business, how he worked for his family’s business, and the hardships, struggles, and achievements he had to go through to get where he is today. I found it cool that Advanced is partnered with the Baltimore Ravens, so that makes them a great business off and on the field. I really enjoyed this conversation with, and hopefully we will be able to visit him or he will be able to visit us again soon.” -Sean “I enjoyed today’s “Conversation with…” because Mr. Jeff really knew how to run a business. He brought a lot of good ideas and advice for us. I liked how his parents started off with nothing and made a good business.” -Jordan “His company is just like the school, value wise. He knows what needs to be done, and he gets it done in the best way possible with a positive attitude. I learned that no matter what you do, you can always bring good habits into a situation.” -Donald...

John Bruce and Ken Bancroft grew up on opposite sides of the Jones Falls Expressway bridge that divided the neighborhoods of Remington and Druid Hill. Back in the 50s and 60s, people grew up hearing to never cross the highway to the neighboring area, and racial tension was the reason. Although Mr. Bruce and Mr. Bancroft grew up quite close to each other, for these reasons they never met until much later in life. Fast forward to now, when both men are leaders of a group called Be The Bridge- an organization devoted to knocking down the boundaries of racial discrimination. The program encourages dialogue across racial lines so that different groups may understand each other better, and leave behind the fear. The two men told stories from their youth, talked about how they formed the local chapter of Be The Bridge, and why this kind of work matters still to this day.  11th grader Olivia said, “I really enjoyed today’s “Conversation with...

Be the Bridge was both the message brought and the name of the organization represented in today's Conversation with John Bruce and Ken Bancroft.  They told the story of growing up on opposite sides of the 28th Street bridge one white and one black. Ken, born and raised in Remington and a longtime part of The Community School, gave a history lesson on redlining and segregation laws in Baltimore that created this divided and unequal condition. Both John and Ken spoke about their experience growing up in this racial divide and the impact it had on their lives.  John shared stories about his continuing experiences with racism and recounted a particularly moving and harrowing story about being stopped by the police on his way to work at Goddard Space Center. Student Tyleiah Trusty reacted to their presentation with these words, "Things that happened in their day are still happening today and there really needs to be a change."...
