Sylvia Khoury '08 is featured in the King Street Chronicle "With a French mother and a Lebanese father, Sylvia Khoury ‘08 found herself at the intersection of cultures, languages, and political issues. Drawing from her personal experiences, Sylvia chose to take her global narrative to the theater. As a fifth grader at Sacred Heart, Sylvia had already written her first script. “I had co-written a play with a bunch of friends at Sacred Heart which was essentially an elaborate Agatha Christie rip-off. We had been going off to rehearse in the auditorium by ourselves during study hall,” Sylvia said. “When the teachers found out, we didn’t get in trouble. Instead, they would just assign someone to come chaperone us while we rehearsed. A lot of teachers came to our final performance.” To read more click here.
