Holiday Concerts Kick Off the Winter Break

In Roxbury Latin tradition, on the day following mid-year exams—and just before the students and faculty leave campus for a well-deserved winter break—nearly half of the student body assembles to deliver a festive and joyful holiday concert, honoring the celebrations and spirit of the season. This tradition—like many—was interrupted in December 2020, and we were delighted to have Rousmaniere Hall filled once again with family and friends who, though masked, joined in a happy evening of song to commence the vacation and close the year 2021.

Members of the Glee Club, the Latonics, and the Junior Chorus—along with help from several musical faculty members and friends—regaled an audience at 4:30 p.m. and again at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, December 17. //

Live Music is Back!

The Latonics took the Rousmaniere Hall stage on November 21, 2021, dazzling classmates with renditions of “Amie” by Pure Prairie League (solo by Brendan Reichard IV), and “Forget You” by CeeLo Green (solo by Ale Philippides I). And on the morning of December 2, 2021, live recitals returned to Rousmaniere after a 21-month hiatus. Before the stage had a chance to cool, RL instrumentalists quickly returned on January 28 for a second recital Hall. //

It’s Alive! Roxbury Latin Presents Frankenstein

Roxbury Latin celebrated the full return to live theater as the fall’s Senior Play production of Frankenstein took the Smith Theater stage on November 19 and 20. Based on the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley, and adapted for the stage by Nick Dear in 2011, the production tells the story of Victor Frankenstein and his creation, but from The Creature’s perspective. Directed by Derek Nelson, the play featured Teddy Glaeser (I) as The Creature and David Sullivan (I) as Victor Frankenstein. //
