DOES THE SCHOOL STILL … ? Alumni often ask us if the school maintains events and traditions that they fondly remember from their own years at the school. Many times, our answer is, “Yes, the school still does that!”
Drama in the Red Barn at Lotspeich The Red Barn has served as an icon for generations of Lotspeich students who attended drama class and performed on its stage. When Mrs. Helen Lotspeich first moved her school from Clifton to the current location on Red Bank Road in 1930, the land surrounding it was still somewhat rural. The
school’s grounds included the barn, which became home to the drama program very early on. As Kitty Blair Fischer L’62, H’68 recalls, the Red Barn “was the best ever. It was always fun to be there and, for a while, be able to transform into a character.” The Red Barn still holds Lotspeich’s drama classes and sees several plays and performances on its stage every year. 51
