SPOTLIGHT ON SHARPSTOWN HIGH AND JULIO MORALES Julio Morales, Theatre Director at Sharpstown High School, a long-time partner school, has been instrumental in making sure the Alley Partner School Program reaches as many students as possible. He has brought Slam Poetry, Shakespeare 360°, Play Writing 360°, Voice 360°, Monologues 101, and Theatre through the Ages to the students of Sharpstown. He also makes sure his students have the opportunity to see as much live theatre as possible by bringing them to every school night performance we have offered this season, the Alley All New student matinee of Syncing Ink, and the Play Writing 360° Showcase.
My students were able to work with professionals and create some amazing works of art. Our partnership with the Alley Theatre has allowed me to grow our theatre program by giving my students a deeper insight into their characters and creativity. The playwriting unit allowed my students to tell a story special to them. They created characters, situations, dialogue... giving them a voice. – Julio Morales, Theatre Director, Sharpstown High School
