This past Saturday HHSTA
attended the Massachusetts Educators Theatre Guild High School Theatre
Festival. Hull had the opportunity to watch 8 other schools showcase
their talents in different styles of theatre. The students had a great
time and represented their school well. They immediately connected with
students from the different schools including Xaverian Brothers, Nauset
Regional, Duxbury, Hingham, Hanover, South Shore Charter, Rising Tide Charter,
and Scituate High Schools. Often Hull students could be found
participating in theatre and improv games or dancing to music with other
students during the breaks. They participated in a post-showcase Q&A,
asking questions to the other schools about their shows, acting techniques, or
creative processes. HHSTA is very inspired and excited to join the guild
and present at student directed/produced show in 2017.
Our director, Mr. Sullivan, also had the
opportunity to connect with directors from other schools who will lend us
support in preparing for next year, and discussed ideas for collaborative
efforts in exchange workshops, attending performances and lending of resources.
