1980s-themed production largest at the Pines in years; ‘there’s nothing like live theatre,’ director Filice says
The White Pines Collegiate arts department is going retro for its biggest theatre production in several years.
”The dancers took a lot of risks in terms of learning the choreography and performing it because there really isn’t a dance program here at White Pines. They had to really go out of their comfort zone to learn these dances but everyone was so invested. It’s been really great,” said teacher Jen Febbraro, who serves as The Wedding Singer choreographer, speaking to SooToday.
“The arts are one of the most important ways that youth in particular learn to express themselves. All the big things in adolescence, the feelings of growing up…I think music and theatre are one of the best ways that teaches kids how to learn about the world and how to handle the influx of information and culture and growth that they need to go through to become an adult.”
”I’m doing a co-op right now in the vocals and drama class but this is my first time really doing acting. I’ve done lots of stuff in music, I play violin and piano but this is really my first time in the acting realm of things. I’m really enjoying it. The cast is amazing and super supportive of one another,” Kirk said.
“I definitely want to go into something in music,” Kirk said, looking to her future after high school. “We’re like a huge family here. It’s all coming together nicely,” Fournier said of his fellow performers.“Sammy’s a good guy. He’s comedic relief for the most part. There’s a lot of serious stuff happening and then my character will pop a punch line.”
