Front Row: Cece Kersten ’19, Grace Yurko ’19, Hannah McArdle ’20 Second Row: Emily Samuelson ’19, Sophie Jager ’21 April 15, 1912, is the date forever associated with the sinking of the Titanic. This past November on the Riley Center stage, the BBA Performing Arts Department presented “TitanicTrial and Tragedy,” a stage production which highlights the sinking of the luxury liner and the hearings that followed. This compelling play tells the story in a gripping narrative from the actual testimonials. Director James Raposa captures the disbelief, chaos, and terror, and brings the tragedy to life with an all-student cast. Written by playwright Pat Cook, the voices of those who lived the terror were capably presented by BBA actors in convincing fashion. The stage set was superbly conceived and realized by BBA teacher Paul Molinelli - longtime collaborator with Jim Raposa on Performing Arts Department productions.
