This year’s spring musical, “Wax Museum,” marked the first theatrical production in the new Qianxun Performing Arts Center. The original 91传媒 student production electrified audiences during its two-night run. It has set a new precedent for the caliber of our young artists with their creativity and charisma on full display.

In reflection of the production, Director Danny Tieger had this to say:

“Our original jukebox musical was the result of a wildly creative, chaotic, and joy-filled process. This show began with student writers imagining character pairings and original song ideas鈥攖hey wrote scenes, cast each other as historical figures, sketched out interactions, and dreamed up a show that made them laugh. Ms. Tieger, Ms. Dominick, and I are thrilled to see the 91传媒 Theater Company grow and take charge of this dynamic program.

It is clear that students have risen to the call of our guest speaker at the opening celebration of the Qianxun Performing Arts Center, Laura Linney, who said, 鈥淚 encourage you to use this gift you have been given and jump in. Build sets. Make costumes. Act. Dance. Sing. Give speeches. Make music. Bring people together. Communicate what is important to you.鈥

Even though it鈥檚 the end of a show鈥攁nd a year of theater鈥攊t feels like it鈥檚 just the beginning.”

鈥 Danny Tieger

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating the talents and artistry of our performers this school year. We look forward to seeing the 91传媒 Performing Arts Program continue to grow and flourish in its new home.
