Addison Repertory Theatre’s high school students did a fabulous job with their recent presentation of the 115th “Never Before Scene.” Under Eric Reid-St. John’s nurturing direction, each student wrote a short play, which was performed by their peers. Each student had the opportunity to direct one of these plays as well. Students ran all the tech for the productions.

The performances were filled with meaning, often funny, witty, realistic, and sometimes poignantly sad. A few plays have gone on to the Vermont Young Playwright’s Festival and/or won recognition at the state level.

During intermission, the Culinary Arts students provided a lovely and tasty display of fancy cupcakes, cookies and dessert bars they perfected. What a treat!

Well done (again) ART! What a treasure the Hannaford Career Center is in our community. Thank you to Eric Reid-St. John and the Culinary Arts faculty!

With gratitude,
