Bravo!
As always, the Wrigley Theatre was bustling with activity throughout the 2012-13 school year.
In addition to concerts, assemblies, class presentations and speakers, the theater hosted six major
productions that included actors from all divisions of the school.
The year started off with the upper school's rousing performance of Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland, followed by the student-run production of Almost Maine in November. This year's
upper school winter musical was the hilarious Tony Award-winning The Drowsy Chaperone and, in
April, Advanced Acting presented The Children's Hour.
The middle school impressed audiences in March, with its adaptation of the classic David
Copperfield, while the fifth and sixth graders got their introduction to the theater with The
Phantom Tollbooth by Susan Nanus.
To end the year, dozens of lower schoolers took to the stage for their musical theater
performance of the ever-popular Annie.
Along with these major shows, actors participating in improv and acting classes presented their
work to smaller audiences throughout the year. Congratulations to the many students and teachers
involved in these efforts. It was another great year for theater at Latin!
