Hamlet
Brooklyn Arts’ production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet will be coming to the Blackbox Theater on March 23rd and 24th. Auditions were open to the entire school, bringing together cast members from multiple grades and majors. This condensed version of the classic play trims the original five-hour runtime while still delivering all of its iconic action, drama, and even swordfights.

“Junior Projects” are small group dances choreographed and performed by junior dance majors. Each year’s Junior Projects are theme-based, and this year’s theme is “art inspired by art”. The Junior Project performance will take place on May 5th in the auditorium, and projects will be judged to determine which ones will be featured in the Spring Dance Concert.

This spring, our vocal and instrumental majors will also be attending the annual New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) Festival.
