CELTS - Volume 13 - Winter 2022

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT & PRINCIPAL

Tradition and Innovation

Drawing on the strength of 800 years of Carmelite faith and 63 years of building Crespi Men, a Crespi education is rooted in Tradition and Innovation.

From their first official day on campus, 9th-grade students are immersed in tradition and innovation as they build bonds of brotherhood, hone leadership and innovation skills, and learn about Carmelite history at the annual ZELO weekend.

Additionally, Crespi continues to innovate with the addition of a new Celt Business Bureau Cohort, offering courses in financial literacy, public speaking, and economics, as well as adding internships, a guest speaker series, and real-world opportunities. In addition, we are excited to expand our relationship with the Gurian Institute by becoming a Center for Educational Excellence in the region.

Dr. Kenneth A. Foersch

President

Honoring tradition and providing an innovative environment where our young men continue to thrive would not be possible without the generosity of the entire Crespi community. Thank you for your support as we form OUR young men.

Celt Pride!

Dr. Liam Joyce Principal

Crespi’s Founding Principal

Throughout life, many are called unto by God to take on the challenge of the priesthood. Such was the case of Crespi’s founding principal, Fr. Augustine (Gus) Carter, O. Carm. Born Walter Peter Carter, he attended Holy Cross Grade School and Mount Carmel High School in Los Angeles. At Mount Carmel, Walter was elected Student Body President and excelled in academics and athletics.

After graduating from Mount Carmel in 1942, Carter matriculated to Loyola University, joined the U.S. Navy V-12 Program, and was selected to enter the University of Oregon School of Medicine. He was discharged from the Navy in 1947, entered the Carmelite novitiate, and professed simple vows that same year, taking the religious name of Augustine. When once asked about his vocational journey, Fr. Gus reflected, “I thought God was calling me. I wasn’t all that sure, but I said ‘well, I’ll see what happens’. I still thank God for my vocation; I’m never sorry.”

He studied philosophy at Whitefriars College in

Auburn, New York, and theology at the Collegio Internazionale di Sant’ Alberto in Rome, Italy. While in Rome, he made his solemn profession with the Carmelites and was ordained a Carmelite priest in 1951. He continued his studies at Loyola University earning an M.A. in Philosophy, and at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley earning an S.T.M. in Spirituality.

Fr. Augustine’s first assignment was in 1952 as a teacher and athletic direc tor back at his alma mater, Mount Carmel. Seven years later, in an effort by the Carmelites to attract students from the San Fernando Valley, Fr. Gus was assigned as the founding principal of the Order’s newest school, Crespi Carmelite in Encino. Fr. “Gus”, as his students affectionately called him, oversaw the admission of the first 120 students in 1959 and the construction of the first school building, which remains today.

Fr. Gus returned to Mount Carmel in 1966, serving as

principal and a teacher. Over the next forty years, he embodied the Carmelite charisms of community, service, and prayer as a spiritual director at various Catholic organizations, and ministering to the parishioners of Incarnation Parish in Glendale. In 2014, he moved to Villa Scalabrini in Sun Valley until God called him on January 4, 2022.

Since Fr. Gus Carter molded the first generation of Celts in 1959, the school has continued his dedication to excellence. We thank him for his legacy. .

“I thought God was calling me. I wasn’t all that sure, but I said ‘well, I’ll see what happens’. I still thank God for my vocation; I’m never sorry.”

What is your best memory as a Crespi student? The moments between ... what I mean by that is while Kairos, the dances, the sporting events, etc. were all incredible, it was the time at lunch, or in the hallway before school, or on the buses to games where my lifelong friendships were made that I hold closest to my heart.

Why did you return to Crespi? I wanted to give back to the school that gave me the opportunity to become the man I am today.

What is most different? Going from a student to one of the veteran employees.

What has remained the same? The culture of the Crespi brotherhood has never changed. As I watch today’s students, I can’t help but be transported back to the mid-90s when my classmates and I interacted the exact same way.

What is your best memory as a Crespi student? Going on Kairos with all my friends and teammates during fall semester of my senior year. It was a life-changing experience! Watching the news in Mr. Louis’ AP Government class on 9/11/2001 and discussing how this incident would change the world.

Why did you return to Crespi? I’ve worked with many different populations in a therapeutic setting, but I’ve always enjoyed working with kids the most. I’ve always wanted to work in education, and to be able to give back to the community that gave so much to me is a blessing.

What is most different? The athletic facilities here have definitely improved since 2002. When I was a student here we had a dirt track, a dirt field and no pool (except for the one on the roof of the gym).

What is your best memory as a Crespi student? It is hard to pinpoint just one! However, a few come to mind. First, the Kairos Retreat I attended with my Celt brothers was one of the best experiences I have had in my young adult life. Additionally, winning the 2003 CIF Championship with my teammates is something I will remember and cherish. Regardless, I keep thinking, it was the Friday night football games, dances, intramurals, other school activities, and day-to-day interaction that are some of the most memorable times for me.

Why did you return to Crespi? Crespi was always my second home. Being that my dad attended Crespi (’74), I was always around and involved in the Crespi Family as I grew up. As I got older, I always knew I wanted to be a teacher and a coach. So, when I went back to school to get my credential, I applied many places; however, I knew Crespi was where I belonged. I got a chance, made the best of it, and the rest is history!

What is your best memory as a Crespi student? Going on Kairos as a candidate and then being able to be a Kairos leader. Why did you return to Crespi? I have always wanted to be in education and work with kids. A week before graduating from college, I got a call from Crespi asking if I wanted to teach and coach and the rest is history. I wanted to impact kids’ lives as my mentors did to me while I was at Crespi. What is most different? The buildings are different. I didn’t have the Fine Arts Building, tartan track, Astroturf field, and pool. What has remained the same? The feeling of belonging and knowing you have brothers in your time of need. We take care of our own here and that will never change. The bonds don’t last four years at Crespi, they last a lifetime. Some of my closest friends today were my classmates at Crespi. The Crespi Brotherhood is unique and Celts that have walked this campus know what I’m talking about. It doesn’t matter if you graduated in a different year than another Celt, it only matters that you are a Celt and a fellow Crespi brother. Lastly, Crespi has remained the standard for sending moral and spiritual, lifelong learners, and productive and mature young men into society. .

A NEW TAKE ON MUSIC

History through the Lens of Hip-Hop

Crespi’s History of Hip-Hop is not your typical high school social studies class, and is the first of its kind to be taught in the state. Hip-hop and rap have evolved from counter-culture to a sub-culture to mainstream music. The UC-approved class traces the art form’s evolution from the 1970s to the present, and the unique culture created from America’s inner cities.

The class is the brainchild of 4th-generation L.A. native Darryl Carter, who hosts an internationally syndicated classic hip-hop radio podcast on White Label Radio.

Carter received a degree in audio engineering and has worked with radio personalities like Casey Kasem. “I am well versed in hiphop,” explains Carter. “I grew up listening to it, I talk it, I live it. It saved my life, and I am lucky to be able to share my knowledge with the students.” Carter, a basketball coaching staff member, loved being on campus and working with the young Celts. Head basketball coach Andrew Moore encouraged him to bring his passion for hip-hop to the classroom. “Crespi taking a chance on a class like this

says a lot about what they are looking to do here and for their innovative curriculum,” said Carter.

Combining music history with social studies, the class begins with African-American history. “The students must understand where people came from to understand how they created their music and culture,” says Carter. Veteran teacher and Social Studies Chair Brett Louis plays an integral role in developing the syllabus. “Mr. Louis has been key to layering the American History component. I bring the music side to it against the backdrop of historical events like slavery, the Harlem Renaissance, the civil rights movement, and the Watts riots, to name a few,” he adds. “These events paved the way for the creators of this culture to find themselves in impoverished communities. We talk about how the music and lyrics were born from the trials and tribulations faced in those neighborhoods. The artists were fighting back through their lyrics and content.”

The course mainly covers music from 1980 to 2000. Students listen to music from Eminem, The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Run-D.M.C, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Ice Cube, and N.W.A., and more recent artists like Migos

and Lil Baby. Carter teaches his students that all music, not just hip-hop, parallels what is happening at that time within the culture. Artists of the sixties and seventies wrote Vietnam protest songs, Springsteen sings about working-class America, and N.W.A. used their platform to protest police brutality.

Carter encourages frank dialogue in the classroom, making sure that it is a safe forum for students to share their perspectives on what can be polarizing topics. Says Carter, “Often after an uncomfortable conversation, a student will say to his classmate ‘Now I understand where you are coming from, and we can find common ground.’ ”

Asked what most surprised him about his pupils, Carter responded, “I was surprised at how thoughtful and mindful our young men are during our discussions. I believe this generation will change the world for the better.” .

“Often after an uncomfortable conversation, a student will say to his classmate

‘Now I understand where you are coming from, and we can find common ground.’ ”

Innovation

By Dr. Sherryline Brahim, STEM Department Chair

Crespi introduced its educational STEMinar series in a presentation and open discussion format in 2014. To this day, students are educated on diverse STEMbased career paths spanning engineering, medicine, space, architecture, agriculture, AI, entomology, and sustainability, to name a few.

Crespi was a pioneer among high schools in offering a hands-on nanotechnology workshop in the summer of 2015. Students from Crespi and other schools experienced a four-day seminar with lectures followed by practical lab exercises and hands-on activities. Students studied all aspects of next-generation nanomaterials

from synthesis, characterization, and utilization in ubiquitous fields of medicine, clothing, sports, space, defense, and mobility.

STEM Expo 2022 at Crespi went virtual for the first time on the heels of the global pandemic. Our students compiled creative infographics and used QR codes to embed short videos of themselves explaining their projects. Under the theme of “Environmental Awareness,” they identified, researched, and proposed practical solutions to many of our environmental problems. Their innovative work is still displayed at a virtual art gallery using the web-based software Artsteps.

Crespi hosted its first-ever annual e-waste collection for our Crespi community and surrounding neighborhood in April 2022 in partnership with the LA Conservation Corps. Our school received 80% of the proceeds from this event.

In June 2022, Crespi successfully worked with the City to plant beautiful Australian Willows and Crepe Myrtle trees in the empty wells on Santa Rita St. Funds were raised at Crespi Giving Day for this project. Our students are taking their learning to the next level and becoming active advocates for change.

One of our school’s first-rate achievements over the past decade has been the adoption, celebration, and progression of various aspects of innovation, the fruit of which has allowed Crespi to not just survive, but thrive! To illustrate the influence of innovation in STEM at Crespi, I will use a fitting and relevant analogy of a tree with many fruitful branches. With innovation as the trunk, we spread our creativity.

This fall, Crespi will be hosting its second annual Regatta. Junior high students from local middle schools compete to design and construct boats made of recyclable materials.

Finally, Crespi recently received a Society of Mount Carmel Grant to spearhead our composting initiative on campus. Plans are underway to carry out a composting competition across grade levels; use the compost we create as soil and send each student home with a plant on Earth Day 2023.

These highlights are just a snapshot of innovation in our STEM program at Crespi. Other departments are also constantly redesigning the learning experience to be far more relevant to our students by engaging them in a higher level of thinking. Innovation at Crespi is more than just technology; it’s how we use technology to empower our students to become lifelong learners and agents of change. The word ‘Innovation,’ therefore, brings a sense of newness, difference, and change, and with this change, an inevitable sense of wonder. And rightly so, for at

FIRST PERSON : DR. BRAHIM

the heart of the word is “nova” – which calls to mind the stars in their brilliant glory. In this light, it is no wonder that innovation is so profoundly integrated at Crespi, for etched within the fabric of our shield are stars – shining role models of faith, legacy, and new possibilities. Indeed, our Crespi is a nebula – the home of Celt-shaped stars, wonder, and all things

new. Go Celts! .

Dr. Brahim received her Doctorate in Chemistry from the University of the West Indies.

Crespi named Gurian Institute Center for Educational Excellence

Crespi Carmelite High School’s environment is an experience you will not find in any other high school. Walking the hallways, you are surrounded by memorabilia reminiscent of the deeply rooted history of the school. Yet as you near the classrooms, the energy is anything but the old-school style of lectures held in silent rooms. As a Gurian Model Center for Excellence, Crespi specializes in creating an environment that is structured towards boys-centered learning. Senior Daniel Guerrero describes his experience: “The learning process has been super engaging and allowed me to learn in ways that I wasn’t able to in other schools. Through interactive learning and projects, Crespi has been able to help me understand the material in ways I never thought possible.”

Through the practice of collaboration, competition, and kinesthetic learning, students are participating in their own understanding instead of being bystanders. “Kinesthetic activities work well among young boys in retaining scientific information,” says Lana Saykali, a Crespi STEM (Science, Teacher, Engineering & Math) teacher.

Teachers utilize techniques designed to stimulate

the students’ brains in the classroom and throughout the campus. Scavenger hunts, virtual escape rooms, interactive review games, and even hacky sack competitions exemplify how Crespi educators bring innovative Gurian methods into their lesson plans. Faculty members incorporate these methods seamlessly into their pedagogical practices demonstrating the dedication teachers have towards providing Celts a learning experience built for them.

So what is the Gurian Institute (GI), and how does it partner with Crespi to achieve the Center for Excellence designation? One of the world’s foremost gender experts, Michael Gurian, pioneered efforts to bring neurobiology and brain research into homes, schools, corporations, and public policy. The Institute has supported a science-based approach to teaching boys and girls for 25 years. Crespi became the GI’s first Model School in 2006. Currently, two-thirds of faculty and staff are Gurian trained or certified.

Rob Kodama, Crespi’s Director of Admissions, and Certified Gurian Master Trainer describes the relationship

between the school and the GI: “We have embraced the Gurian Institute, and this has enhanced our school in numerous ways. The GI team has helped us rise above our competing schools. We have come to the forefront of educating boys in the Los Angeles area.”

The new Center at Crespi will serve the Los Angeles area with access to programming and resources that can help schools, organizations, parents, and community members to aid students in their care. Crespi Certified and Master Trainers can visit the schools to provide programs. Michael Gurian and the rest of the more prominent Gurian Institute are also available to the community through the Center.

Commenting on the partnership, the Institute writes, “Crespi provides a much-needed rite of passage over a four-year period in which boys move forward to becoming empathic, discerning, and successful men. Layering its own Catholic vision of male development with a science-based approach, Crespi provides academic rigor, athletic accomplishment, social-emotional growth, and personal evolution for each boy in its care.” .

Excellence in Leadership

The 1st annual Excellence in Leadership Awards and Dinner was held this summer at Woodland Hills Country Club. Emceed by David Scheper ’76, the dinner was attended by more than 70 alumni, family members, and supporters. The evening honored two alumni who exhibit leadership and service in their daily lives. Chosen for the inaugural event were Michael Zepf ’77 and David DiTomaso ’74. These Celts were selected because they exemplify the tenets of the Crespi Man: moral and spiritual, lifelong learners, and dedicated to the service of others. Crespi was honored to recognize these two leaders who had impact in their fields and community. In their daily life and work, they exhibit the upstanding qualities that Crespi has and continues to instill in young Celts.

Honoree: Michael Zepf ’77

Mike Zepf distinguished himself as an Air Force Commander, an expert aviator and command pilot, a Pentagon staff member, and a Special Olympics Coach for almost three decades. The father of a son with autism and developmental and health challenges, Zepf founded Zeponic Farms, whose mission is to increase the availability of local farm-fresh produce to the community while employing and empowering the Special Needs community through therapeutic farming and purposeful work.

Currently, Zepf works at the Pentagon as Chief of Special Air Missions, Office of the Assistant Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force. As Chief, he supervises the Special Air Mission activity for the safe and timely worldwide airlift of the President, Vice President, Cabinet, Congress, Dept. of Defense officials, Combatant Commanders, and other high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the U.S. and foreign governments.

Before his work at the Pentagon, Zepf flew combat support missions while flying the KC-10 tanker in Operations JUST CAUSE and DESERT STORM. His leadership positions included being a commander of an Airlift Squadron at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland and serving on the Joint Staff and Air Staff at the Pentagon.

While Mr. Zepf’s military and civilian careers have been admirable, his most rewarding journey has been that of a father to Nicholas and Zeponic Farms. The business has won the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s “Green Award” for its work in providing sustainable agriculture and for the inclusion of workers with special needs.

Honoree: David DiTomaso ’74

Dave DiTomaso was honored for his commitment to Crespi’s distinctive mission of educating young men and his service to the Board of Directors as the longest-serving board member and board chair. Prior to being selected as the first alumnus to lead Crespi’s board, he was active on the Alumni, Governance, Hall of Fame, and Golf Tournament committees.

Dave was part of the group that developed VISION 2020 and the subsequent five-phase Master Plan. As a member of the Board of Directors, he played an integral role in the development, planning, fundraising, and completion of three major projects: The Fine Arts Building, The Technology & Resource Center (TRC), and the largest capital campaign project in school history, The Robinson Family Aquatics Center.

Paying tribute to her brother Dave at the dinner, Kathy Ventimiglia, LvHS ’85 said,” If Dave believes in a meaningful cause or an organization, he will donate his time, money, and energy to help create improvement and a positive influence. Crespi has been one such beneficiary of Dave’s efforts. Crespi has been a part of our family for over 50 years. Nine DiTomasos attended Crespi throughout the 70s and 80s, and three of us DiTomaso girls went to Louisville. For Dave, Crespi positively impacted his life ever since he was a young man.”

“My brother believed that Crespi guided him in his life to become who he is today, and he has always felt that giving back was an integral part of gratitude and growth. And giving back is what he has done, in spades!” she exclaimed. “Not only has Dave donated his time, money, and home to Crespi events, he has offered his guidance directly to students. Dave has been a guest speaker at Career Day for over ten years, imparting his wisdom to young Crespi men about being an entrepreneur.” .

At the Top of Their Game: Math and

MATH — Crespi math team wins two national championships

Despite the challenges of a global pandemic, remote learning, and interacting with faculty and fellow students via Zoom, the Crespi Math Club found a reason to celebrate after winning back-to-back national championships. The Arete Labs Math Madness Challenge drew over 1,000 students from around the country. As if practicing for a national competition online wasn’t enough of a challenge, the team faithfully zoomed in from two hemispheres and two drastic time differences.

Under the direction of Honors Pre-Calculus & Calculus teacher Sahiv Lopez, the Math Club was formed in 2019. Then sophomore Joseph Liu approached Mr. Lopez with the idea of starting the Crespi Math Club to inspire enthusiasm and excitement for doing math, and taking that enthusiasm into competitions. Seven more students joined that first year, and daily afterschool practices began. The complex problems were initially so challenging that the students would spend well over an hour pondering over approaches. At times, they could only complete one problem per session. “It was great to see the amount of motivation and excitement the kids had for the subject and the passion for solving the problems,” said Mr. Lopez. The team’s first competition occurred in February 2020 as they participated in the American Mathematics Competition by taking the AMC 12. Based on their

performance in the AMC, Arete Labs invited the Celts to participate in their online Math Madness, a team-based weekly league competition culminating in a nationwide, single-elimination bracket tournament in the fall of 2020. On the heels of the invitation, the coronavirus closed down in-person instruction in March, and club practice was suspended for the rest of the school year.

Although in-person instruction was still restricted by fall of 2020, the math team was anxious to get back to reconnecting with each other via zoom and putting in the hard work to be contenders in the Arete Labs challenge. The mathletes took advantage of Crespi’s asynchronous Fridays to up their game. Vice Principal Dr. Alan Swaney describes the benefit of these Fridays: “When we adjusted to online learning during the stay-at-home period of the COVID pandemic, we realized that too much teleconferencing would be bad for students and faculty alike. Therefore, we scheduled Fridays for asynchronous learning - meaning that students would still engage in the learning process without the demands of attending a live class. While students worked independently or in groups on projects of varying sophistication, teachers made themselves available in case questions arose. We believe our use of asynchronous Fridays was integral to the success of our distance learning program.” Recalling the challenge of practicing from different continents, Lopez remarked, “Our international students would synchronize

with us from 1 a.m. - 2 a.m. their time, and made a great effort to be at every practice.”

Commencing in October, the weekly contests involved team members solving eight algebra or geometry problems individually. “These advanced questions were not what you would see on a typical high school exam,” said Mr. Lopez. The students had 30 minutes to complete the questions, and the individuals who scored the highest composed the entire score for the team. After performing well in the competition’s Division II bracket, the Celts were excited about their chances. Said Mr. Lopez, “We would joke about how nice it would be if we won this. But at the time, it seemed out of reach, so we just took it as a fun competition and a way to be together like pre-COVID. The kids were having a good time.”

The good news came right after Thanksgiving that Crespi advanced to the quarterfinals and then the semi-finals, and that was when the team decided to go for the gold. “The joking around in September that we were doing “this for fun” became more serious,” said Lopez. “The team got the best Christmas present on December 23rd when we were crowned the 2020 Math Madness champions!”

French Excel!

In February of 2021, the Celts again competed in The American Mathematics Competition. “As a team, it was nice to see that we had improved our score from the last time we competed, both as a team average and individually,” recalled Lopez. “And then in March, we were able to be back in person finally.”

With five new Math Club members joining in the first semester of 2021, the team achieved two significant victories. Hungry to again take the Arete math title, the group worked on more complex problems. Lopez recalls, “This was now familiar to us, and we were pretty confident we’d make it to the finals. On Christmas Eve, we again got the awesome news that we won the Division II competition for the second year in a row!”

In another victory for the program, junior Luke Jones distinguished himself by qualifying for the American Invitational Mathematics Examination. This invitation is extended to students who score in the top 8% of the competition. Luke scored in the top 5%. Enthusiasm for the team’s success has spread throughout the campus; so much so that the entire student body gathered in the gym during lunch hour to cheer on the finalist of the 2021 Derivative Bee and the 2022 Integration Bee. Students who participated competed against each other to showcase their mastery of advanced derivative and integration techniques.

With the fall of 2022 in full swing, the founders of the Math Club have graduated, new members continue to join, and senior Luke Jones is the president of the club. When asked about this year’s goals, Mr. Lopez responds, “We hope to place in Division 1 and would love a third national championship.” He continues, “Luke is aiming to make it to the United States American Mathematics Olympiad, earned by only the top 2% of the competitors. I am proud to be a part of our small math community at Crespi, and as we have more students find excitement for mathematics it makes me optimistic for our future. Ultimately, I want to continue to share my passion for mathematics with students and for them to keep having fun.” .

FRENCH — Vive le programme de Français de Crespi!

U

nder the tutelage of French teacher

Ms. Roxanne Lecrivain, all French students participated last spring in Le Grand Concours, a National French competition sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF). The AATF’s mission is to promote the study of the French language and French-speaking literature and cultures at all levels. Le Grand Concours showcases the ability of the “étudiants de français” to understand and converse in this romance language.

The Crespi students’ diligence produced excellent results. Seven students received Honors certificates for their high scores, and four received medals for their national ranking. Following the announcement of the results, the medalists were invited to an award ceremony organized by Le Grand Concours where they were presented with their medals, enjoyed French macarons, and got the chance to meet other young Francophiles.

Senior Dara Banaie was also singularly recognized receiving the 2022 AATF Outstanding Senior in French Award. Dara studied French and was a member of the Société Honoraire de Français (the French Honor Society). At Crespi, Dara was the lead editor and journalist of the school’s French online magazine and co-authored an article published in France in the magazine Le Monde des Ados. A tutor to other French students, he was also a cooking club member, helping many peers and introducing them to French cuisine. Now that he has graduated, he will remain a part of Crespi’s Francophone community through a pen pal program between recent alumni and current French students. .

(dram•a•tur•gy)

/ The art or technique of dramatic composition and theatrical representation. /

Ken Cerniglia ’89 is a veteran dramaturg, writer and creative executive. He dramaturged the eight-time Tony Award-winning play and Best Musical Hadestown, and five-time Tony Award-winning Peter and the Starcatcher.

What does a dramaturg do?

The practice of dramaturgy was founded by Gotthold Lessing, a playwright and in-house critic at the Hamburg State Theatre in Germany in the 18th century. It is a longstanding practice integrated into all state theatres in Central and Eastern Europe, and many in the United States, with more than 2,000 dramaturgs worldwide. A typical production always includes a writer, director, and dramaturg. However, the dramaturgical approach has existed since the beginning of theatre from the time of Aristotle. It asks the question: how does theory meet practice? Like a theatre critic, a dramaturg applies theatre theory, history, and cultural knowledge to evaluate a theatre work. A theatre critic, however, is a journalist; their job is to describe, analyze, interpret, and evaluate what is happening on stage. Dramaturgs

work inside the theatre as the production develops, bringing skills to create a better output before it is made available to the public and critic evaluation.

Was musical theatre your first love?

It was. I went to school at St. John Eudes, which had a big children’s choir that I joined as early as possible. Our director, Don Hollingsworth, wrote original plays combining catalog, church, and popular music. My 8th grade claim to fame was playing a farmer in the play and singing John Denver’s “The Garden Song”. That performance still lives on VHS somewhere at my parents’ house (which I have tried to find to burn it!).

At Crespi, I was involved in student government, ran track and cross country, and was the class valedictorian. I was introduced to musical theatre by Fr. Jay Comerford, who was a huge fan. He was also

the campus minister and incorporated music into our retreats and Kairos. Senior year I was cast as the lead in On the Town. The play was canceled due to a scheduling conflict with the gym. I was crushed!

When I went to college at UCSD, I took my first Intro to Theatre Class. I ended up double majoring in Psychology and Theatre. While there, I acted in several productions, including Little Shop of Horrors as Seymour. I also directed and produced the student musical group The Players. Senior year I worked in the box office at the La Jolla Playhouse and decided to concentrate on theatre. I took my first dramaturgy class at Catholic University, where I obtained a master’s degree in Theatre History & Criticism. I received a Ph.D. in Theatre History & Criticism from the University of Washington.

How did you end up on Broadway?

I worked for Broadway Disney for 16 years, a company founded by a storyteller in 1923. Disney pioneered the art of music, working with and supporting animation. The practice of dramaturgy is bringing knowledge of structures of meaning to storytelling. There are many dramaturgical considerations. What are the character relationships? Where is it set? What is the context? How does it relate to other plays that came before? What issues in society does the play address? The analogy I like to make about my profession is that it’s like being an editor at a publishing house who works with writers helping them improve their craft.

I work primarily with writers, dramatists, playwrights for plays, and composers for musical theatre, but I also work with directors, set designers, and actors.

What productions have you worked on, and which is your favorite?

The first Broadway show I worked on for Disney was Tarzan in 2006. Then came The Little Mermaid, Newsies, Aladdin, Peter & the Starcatcher, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Freaky Friday, High School Musical, and the Marvel Spotlight plays.

The musical closest to my heart is Peter and the Starcatcher (the prequel to Peter Pan). I worked on it from the very beginning in novel form. It was the first play produced by Disney Theatrical and the first not adapted from an existing dramatic work. Most of the work we did at Disney was adapting films to the stage,

but Starcatcher came from a book, so we created the dramatic structure from this book.

Tell us about your work on the Tony-awardwinning Hadestown.

Hadestown was a freelance project I worked on with the New York Theatre Workshop, based on a concept album by Anaïs Mitchell. It was challenging because Mitchell was a singer-songwriter, not a dramatist. It required my dramaturgical skillset to craft it into a legitimate stage musical. We won eight Tonys in 2019, including Best Musical.

How did it feel to receive a shout-out on national TV at the Tonys?

It was surreal because it was my first time attending the award ceremony. I was sitting in the audience at Radio City Musical Hall, thinking “Did she (Anaïs Mitchell) just say my name from the podium?” Then my phone started blowing up from all my friends and family who heard the shout-out at the awards show!

What’s your favorite part about your job?

I love working with artists, and I love solving problems. Now that I am freelance full-time, I love working on various projects. I enjoyed my time at Disney and the talented people there. However, it was still within the

Cerniglia and Anaïs Mitchell

Disney wheelhouse. Now I have a broader canvas on which to work.

Do you have input in other aspects of the production besides the script and research?

At Disney, I was also part of creative development. I can speak artist, and I can speak producer. I’m often the catalyst between the artists and the producer. I also dramaturged the Disney merchandise, selecting products and souvenirs to be developed from the script. For now, I’m focused on creating the work. Still, I will advise producers in other production areas so those people can do their jobs.

What’s your biggest challenge?

It is at the beginning of the production, getting to know the cast and crew and earning their trust. I come in with a critical apparatus that can be perceived as evaluation and judgment. But they soon learn that my job is to nurture, cheerlead, and develop the work with the artist because we are all on the same team. So rather than give notes, I ask questions so my collaborators can provide the correct answers.

What is your favorite Sondheim musical? Sweeney Todd!

What’s your favorite contemporary musical?

Do you mean besides Hadestown? There’s a new one coming out that I am a big fan of called Lempicka, based on the artist Tamara de Lempicka. Although relatively unknown, she revolutionized the art world.

What’s next?

I have co-written a musical called Atlantis, which premiered in Richmond, Virginia in April of 2019 before the pandemic. It is a fictional account of the final three days of the lost city of Atlantis before falling into the sea. I’m currently co-writing the book based on the musical, and we just had a concert based on the music in New York. I’m very excited about the project. We have people interested in investing, and the goal is to take it to Broadway.

We hear that you are an amazing actor and vocalist. Do you still perform?

(Laughing loudly) Who said that? I was a good performer; I could sing, dance, and act, and I loved doing it. But I had a college acting teacher who said, “You know your vocation is to be an actor if you wake up in the morning and go to bed at night thinking only of acting. And if you think of something else, you should do that instead because acting is tough!”

What advice would you give to Crespi students who are interested in a career in theatre?

Try it out! Participate in a play at Crespi or join a local community theatre program. Studying theatre in college is an excellent medium for whatever you want to do in life. The student learns about plays, history, craft, collaboration, and the whole shebang! Besides acting,

there are so many behind-the-scenes specialties like costume design, set design and building, staging, choreography, and direction, to name a few. You can find your passion once you give it a try.

So much of your story connects with the Crespi man statement, particularly community and being a life-long learner. How did Crespi nurture that?

To bring it back to Crespi, I have used everything I learned there in my job and career. A play can be about any subject matter, so all the subjects I took in high school were vital in what was to become my profession. I learned to “learn” at Crespi. I learned to be curious, follow my passion, be challenged in thought, and always push further. These were all skills I developed as a Celt and continue to use in my life and career.

Another important skill I learned in high school was the value of teamwork. Whether in student government, campus ministry, or athletics, I learned how to be part of a community and my role within that community. I do theatre because I think that when we bring the community together with a single focus, we are not only entertained but also provoked to consider the human condition.

What is just and unjust in the world, and what will we do about it? These are all values I developed at Crespi that I now use in musical theatre and in my personal life. .

Hammered

Last Spring, Crespi welcomed Jacob Henrie-Naffaa as teaching artist and director for Hammered: A Thor and Loki Play. Throughout the rehearsal process, Jacob developed a strong sense of trust, professionalism, and creativity with the Crespi and Louisville actors while teaching stage combat, improvisation, and character study. An accomplished actor, dancer, singer, writer, fight choreographer, and teaching artist from the Bay Area, Jacob began acting in local theatre at the age of 7. In addition to theatre, Jacob has expanded into film work and has been working as an educator and teaching artist for non-profit organizations. And if that smile looks familiar, he is the son of Crespi alumnus

Kenneth Cerniglia ’89. Crespi looks forward to Jacob’s return to Crespi’s Theatre Program in Spring ’23. .

IT WAS A RUN FOR THE ROSES

And… They’re Off!

CAPER Returns honoring Rev. Thomas M. Batsis, O.Carm.

To many racing enthusiasts, May 7, 2022 was Derby Day, but for Crespi it was much more. The CAPER spring gala returned as an elegant in-person event on campus after two years of virtual attendance due to the pandemic. With a Kentucky Derby Day theme, Run for the Roses did not disappoint! More than 300 guests raced to Crespi’s campus for CAPER 45 to celebrate former Crespi President Fr. Tom Batsis’ 80th birthday. Fr. Batsis, a Louisville native, had only one request for his party: to return to Kentucky for the Derby. Since we couldn’t take CAPER to Kentucky, Crespi hosted a night of Southern grace, glamor, charm, and hospitality.

Clad in southern suits, fancy dresses, and fascinators, guests enjoyed mint juleps while they shopped the silent auction and precious jewelry tables and picked a winning horse from a vintage Derby race. The campus was adorned with red roses and ivy. The quad was transformed into an elegant clubhouse dining area with green hedge walls and market lights, and attendees were treated to a first-class southern supper.

Sitting at the table of honor, Fr. Batsis was surrounded by family who flew in from Kentucky and many tables of friends and supporters. The evening’s highlights included a video honoring Fr. Batsis, an impromptu roast by former student Rick Flores ’81, and the establishment of the Rev. Thomas M. Batsis Scholarship Fund.

The Batsis Scholarship provides financial support to a wide range of students to sustain a socially and economically diverse student population at Crespi. More than $127,000 was raised for the scholarship, with lead gifts from Annette and Tom Conley ’78, Jane and Glen Magpiong ’78, Jackie and Mike Bendix ’78, Pete Arbogast ’78, Kathleen & Joseph Atencio ’77, Lori and Tom Condon ’78, Tom Carter ’81, and Melissa and Jonathan Schild ’94.

Reflecting on the evening, Fr. Batsis remarked, “It was such a pleasure to experience the love and support of the Crespi community. I am indebted to the many alumni and families, as well as my own family, that were so generous in their financial gifts for the scholarship.

Each day, I remember in prayer the donors to the scholarship.” .

Throughout his life, Tim was an avid supporter of all Crespi activities and maintained lifetime Celt friendships.

Tim would be thrilled that the Tim Gray Scholarship Fund has been established. If you wish to contribute, please visit crespi.org/timgray. Crespi Carmelite High School and the Gray family thank the following donors for their generosity to the scholarship fund:

Leave Your Legacy

Since its inception in 1959, Crespi Carmelite High School has been dedicated to providing a dynamic learning community for its students, and preparing them for success in all facets of life. With over six decades of tradition, Crespi owes a portion of its financial health to Planned Giving. As we look forward to another 60 years and beyond, Crespi is looking to alumni, supporters, philanthropists, and friends to consider a Planned Gift to our institution.

Planned Giving is a great way to leave your legacy within the Crespi Community. Planned gifts are one of the major pillars involved in building the Crespi Man Fund (CMF). The CMF supports all aspects of the student experience, provides tuition assistance to deserving Celts who would otherwise not be able to afford a Crespi education, allows for the recruitment, retention, and development of first-class faculty and staff, and gives Crespi the flexibility to address areas of greatest need. Future challenges are inevitable. Planned gifts to the CMF allow the school to navigate such challenges without compromising its mission, programs, faculty, or the Crespi experience as a whole. There are several ways to make a Planned Gift to Crespi Carmelite High School, a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization:

BEQUEST, QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN, LIFE INSURANCE POLICY, AND GIFT ANNUITY.

BEQUEST is the most traditional way to provide for the future work of Crespi. With a donation through your will or living trust, you retain full use of your gift during your life and pass the earmarked contribution onto Crespi thereafter. Typical forms of bequests:

General Bequest – specifies that Crespi will receive a designated amount

Percentage Bequest – provides that a predetermined percentage of your estate will go to Crespi.

For example: by leaving 10% of your estate to Crespi Carmelite High School, your estate is not obligated to make the charitable bequest in the event of catastrophic estate losses.

Residuary Bequest – directs that everything remaining in your estate after all general bequests, specific bequests, and costs, will go to Crespi.

QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN places Crespi as a beneficiary, leaving the account to a “non-taxable” entity rather than a relative or loved one who may otherwise bear the taxes. You can reduce potential

estate and income tax by naming Crespi a beneficiary of your retirement plan with a specific dollar amount or percentage designation. Some Crespi friends are naming the school as a secondary beneficiary of their retirement plan after their surviving spouse’s passing.

LIFE INSURANCE POLICY donation is quite common in planned giving. Life Insurance, under proper planning, can provide a benefit that costs cents on the dollar for an organization of your choice. Naming Crespi Carmelite High School as the beneficiary of the policy creates an end-of-life Legacy Gift to help Crespi continue to thrive and grow. Life Insurance Strategy and Planning can have significant benefits for the owner and beneficiaries.

GIFT ANNUITY comes in many forms, and we recommend reaching out to your financial professional for additional information. We would be happy to provide recommendations for a financial professional if you require one. A Planned Gift will ensure that Crespi Carmelite High School continues its mission of educating young men in the Carmelite tradition.

Please reach out to President Dr. Kenneth Foersch at kfoersch@crespi.org, or Executive Director of Advancement Mrs. Gregoria Leoni at gleoni@crespi.org to obtain your Legacy Letter of Intent.

Ways to Give

The Crespi Man Fund is the school’s highest fundraising priority for unrestricted annual giving. It is the vehicle in which parents, alumni, and supporters provide financial assistance to keep Crespi strong and to thrive. CMF dollars at work include:

Created the Crespi Center for Educational Excellence, in conjunction with the Gurian Institute, which provides brain-based, research-driven strategies for teaching boys.

Rigorous and comprehensive curriculum offered to students that develops critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity.

Enrich athletics, arts, and student programs, including funding for national competitions.

Student service enhancements include the addition of a fourth dedicated grade-level counselor, enabling the Executive Director of Student Services & College Counseling to focus on college readiness and placement.

Provide financial assistance to a wide range of students to sustain a socially and economically diverse student population.

Innovative Business Cohort to acquaint students with knowledge of principles and procedures in the business field, providing them with a competitive advantage as they apply to college business programs.

Your gift means more than just dollars and cents. Your gift, at any level, signifies your belief in our mission of educating and developing young men of character, faith, service, and leadership. Give today!

With Gratitude

Crespi’s multitude of academic and extracurricular activities allowed me to explore my passions. I served as president of the Finance & Trading Club, a founding member of the Math Club, the Track & Field Team Captain, and a member of the Associated Student Body. I was proud to receive The Crespi Man Award at Graduation.

As I enter my first year at UCLA as a Business Economics Major, I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to attend Crespi. Every friend I made, every lesson I learned, and every academic milestone I reached directly resulted from the support of my teachers, coaches, counselors, and donors like you.

Please give to this year’s CMF, and help other Crespi Men, like me explore their passions.
