[Dis]Connected: TA7 Musical Revue

The 7th Grade Musical Revue is a collaborative rehearsal project geared towards the 7th grade class that culminates in a revue-style performance. At the start of the rehearsal process, students collaborated with the director to identify themes and topics that they are passionate about. The content for the show has been devised around the students’ interests and the stories they are excited about telling. Students have be assigned solos, duets and small group numbers based on skill and ability. They have focused on acting-through-song and learned some staging and theatrical movement.

And a Child Shall Lead

This is the heroic and true story of children coming of age in Terezin, the “Jewish city” established by the Nazis near Prague as a way station before the death camps. In the face of unspeakable horror, these children use their determination and creativity to build lives filled with hope and beauty — playing, studying, making art, and writing an underground newspaper — all at the peril of being executed. Their actual poems and stories are woven into a fast-paced drama, evoking the universality of children caught in the insanity of war.

Directed by Nico Torrez
Stage Managed by Kaelin Fuld
Featuring the WW Theater Arts Classes of ’23 & ’24, with Guest performances by the WDP Class of ’26

TA 7 Musical Revue

It Will or It Won’t is a musical revue that examines the unique and varied relationships we encounter in our lives. Using familiar tunes from the musical theatre and pop canons, the audience will be introduced to a wide range of characters, many of whom find themselves at a difficult crossroads. Conceived by the cast, this show explores romantic and familial relationships, friendships, and the journey toward self-love and acceptance in the face of doubt. With humor, honesty, and tremendous heart, It Will or It Won’t reminds us to continue learning and letting go, no matter which way things turn out.
