The Secret Garden

TWPI students staged the production of The Secret Garden on Friday and Saturday nights, November 21st and 22nd. Both nights had large audiences and good performances. Yay!

THE SECRET GARDEN

COME to the musical!

COME to The Secret Garden.

Friday and Saturday, 7 PM at Charley's Cabaret, PIC.

This play is based on the classic children's book by Frances Hodson Burnett.


The story of a girl, Mary Lennox, orphaned when her parents succumb to cholera in India, and her English Uncle, Archibald Craven, is set against the dreariness of an English manor house and the stuffiness of English attitudes, but is a tribute to the strength of hope and love.

The music is fabulous, too!

Tickets are just $5 for students and children (4 and older); and $7.50 for adults.
Dessert is available for $5 and you may also purchase drinks from the PIC bar at Charley's.

You can find more information about cast and such in earlier posts.

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Adults: $12
FOA Members $10

Friends of the Arts is staging THE GOOD DOCTOR this weekend. The play, written by Neil Simon, is a comedic take on a series of Anton Chekhov stories.

The FOA production hosts a cast of local talent, including students Bianca Blanco (GCA), Judy Tiples, Antonio Tiples, Tommy Baik, Moon Hyo Lee, Adelayah Mojica, Therese Dimapolis, (all MHS) and Joan Liwanag (NMC), and others(?).

Okay, there are adults in the cast as well: Rich Hamilton, Paul Dujua, Dave Bucher, Shauna Brown, Don Cohen, Barbara Sher, Rick Jones, Chelo Mangito, and others.

This is an opportunity for fun, and mutual support of the arts. Be sure to remind every single person there about the forthcoming production of THE SECRET GARDEN!

ITS, NFL-College Night

Every year the NFL/TWPI Board holds a College Night for Juniors and Seniors who are NFL or ITS participants. At this event we introduce those Colleges and Universities that actively recruited students at the NFL Nationals and the ITS Festival and encourage our students to investigate them.




University of Wyoming

This event is open to all NFL/ITS participants, whether public or private school students. If you haven't yet participated in these events but want college information, you can still come, and START participating in NFL and ITS events at the next competition!

It has been our experience that if our NFL and ITS students apply to these schools, they may get special consideration for admissions and scholorship benefits.


University of Cincinnati-CCM

This year, we are holding the event on Friday Oct. 17 between 6:30 and 8:00 pm at Marianas High School, Room 101D.

We hope Juniors and Seniors can attend.

Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Math Court, NFL, NJFL--Good Press

I am so happy that the Marianas Variety published newspaper articles about our competitions: the first Lincoln-Douglas Debate here, the first Math Court competition here and the first NFL & NJFL competitions here.

Photos, quotes from student participants, good information from coordinators--all wonderful!

Thank you, Marianas Variety!
