PERFORMING ARTS
Regis Performing Arts Takes Center Stage! Fall Play—Leaving Iowa Regis students performed Leaving Iowa in December for a virtual audience. Theatre in a pandemic was a new hurdle this year, but the students did an excellent job navigating this new platform. Nine iPads were set up so families could enjoy the streaming performance from the comfort of their own home. It was not the ideal situation, but the students handled it with positivity and the show was a success!
Spring Musical—Godspell In April, Regis High School students performed Godspell for a small in person audience and a virtual audience. Having a live audience again was the highlight of the show. Opening night, the livestream went down and the students immediately rallied together and entertained the audience with some improvisation as we waited for the livestream to come back up. It was incredible to see the students come together and make the best out of it. Even with all the challenges this year, Regis students found a way to have fun and continue to entertain the Regis community. 22

REGIS. ST. MARY CATHOLIC SCHOOL
Early Bird Drama Early Bird Drama made a comeback this year! With 20 eager St. Mary's middle school students and 6 months of rehearsals, the students put on the widely funny How to Eat Like a Child and Other Ways of Not Being a Grown-Up. The show was performed both live and live-streamed in front of a small audience of parents and family members. We are so proud of our kids and are excited to see what is in store for Early Bird Drama next year! Thank you for giving these kids the opportunity to participate in one of the only middle school theatre programs in the Willamette Valley.
