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/...

The amazing folks from Berman McAleer were back again today for their monthly Financial Literacy seminar.  Today's lesson was all about evaluating and understanding different kinds of debt. The students worked in groups to discuss various debt scenarios that were presented to them and then had to label each one as "good debt", "bad debt" or "risky debt". After pronouncing their answer to the class, the groups had to defend and discuss how they reached their conclusion. They consider scenarios having to do with car and home purchases, payday loans and more. It was a very lively session and the learning will resonate as the students face these real life decisions.   Our thanks to series coordinator Kathleen Gower along with Adaiha Montgomery and Geneveive Criscera and all the folks at Berman McAleer for this eye opening seminar and the delicious lunch....

Having just returned from his continuing spot on The Today Show where he is the Tech and Lifestyle expert, Mario Armstrong was back at the school. Mr. Mario challenged the students the last time he was here to come up with a concise but solid introduction of themselves that they could deliver extemporaneously. As each student did an introduction, he gave advice on content, body language and voice. It was a terrific lesson in personal confidence and communication. Following that part of his visit, was a more conventional, but just as interesting, conversation with him where the students asking questions about his life and career. We are excited that he will be back for a regular seminar each semester next year. Thank you Mario Armstrong for sharing and bringing your considerable talents into the school....
