An Unquowa Tradition A WORD FROM OUR HEAD OF SCHOOL On the Tuesday of Thanksgiving break, I arrived at school just in time to see the last touches on the stained glass windows being hung in the gym by Mr. Mitchell and Mr. DiCorpo, and I knew that our resident Winterfest “Fairies” would secretly stop by soon after to hang the Winterfest banners on the ceiling of our gym.

I love watching our kids respond to the slow transformation of our gym into a medieval castle, and I love watching those first few rough rehearsals - kids coming to the gym with lyrics and harmonies in their heads and eager to sing them while adding the choreography that Mrs. Kirk has designed to bring the piece to life. It’s the first attempt for dozens of kids to go through tying music to movement. I always watch these rehearsals, knowing that every time our kids do a run-through, they will get one step closer to the powerful synchronicity they’ll achieve during the final Thursday evening performance of Winter Festival. I watch it build every year, and the process is heartbreakingly beautiful and comforting in its certainty. Each year I feel so lucky to witness not just the end result but the magical process that leads up to it.

Winter Festival is always an amazing event because it’s the culmination of a month of learning and mastering songs, dances and lines that leads to an evening of every student “nailing it” in a way that is magical. Each year I am ever more grateful to our performing arts staff: Performing Arts Department chair, Megan Kirk, who writes the script and designs the choreography specifically with our kids in mind; David Coe, who orchestrates live music and leads his talented students in playing it; and Lloyd Mitchell, who trains a tech crew who keeps the lights and sound professionally on cue. A host of others, including tireless and talented parents, add the touches that make this night beyond belief. Our entire school and returning alums who join in the closing traditional songs at the program’s end bond over its performance each year.

It’s hard to remember that we were ever in hiatus mode, but this year we still need a little magic in our lives, and we can all benefit from building new memories, laughing with friends and experiencing the pride of creating a performance that provides both magic and memories for ourselves, our families and our friends.

May you enjoy the tale we spin for you tonight, may you sing along if the spirit moves you, and may you and your family have a New Year filled with joy and peace.

All the best, Sharon Lauer

Winterfest 2022 The Shrunken Kingdom

The Szalinski children always knew their father was a genius. A little on the strange side, but a genius nonetheless. The Thompson children, their neighbors, were not convinced. In order to prove that their father really was working on a device that could shrink anything, they decided to sneak up into the attic to show off his machine…

But when the kids stumble across Mrs. Szalinki’s waterless, castle snow globe and accidentally push a button on the shrink ray, these six children find themselves in a most difficult - if not magical - situation!

With some quick thinking on Lizzy Szalinski’s part, the children come up with a plan to find their way into the snowglobe’s castle. After some unexpected help from some friendly fireflies, the children find themselves confronted with two very curious prisoners… who only speak in riddles!

Could these riddles be the answer to their shrunken situation?

Will the Szalinskis and Thompsons ever be their proper size again?

Might they, possibly, be able to help the Kingdom of Unquowa escape from their snowglobe prison?

A WORD FROM THE DIRECTORS Winterfest is such a magical time of the year at the Unquowa School! Seeing the joy that this show brings to our community is something I look forward to each year. The students have been working so very hard on all of the skills you will see before you in this year’s show. The performers and stage crew have been working on developing their characters, memorizing lines, song and choreography, perfecting their craft on their instruments, learning every aspect of the show’s lighting, sound, and set placement, and most importantly working together as a team! I could not be more proud of how these students have come together as a community of performers to put together this unforgettable show. Thank you to everyone who has put in so much time and energy into this year’s Winterfest!

— Megan Kirk What a fantastic time of year this is at Unquowa! It’s so great to see all of the students singing, dancing and laughing together, and the smiles from teachers as they walk through the gym with a rehearsal in progress. No less remarkable is the physical transformation of the school as thrones, banners and castles begin to appear seemingly out of nowhere. The Instrumental Ensembles are in fine form and ready to kick off Winterfest 2022!

Thanks to all who have contributed to making this Winterfest an exciting and entertaining one!

— David Coe

London reflects, “I am most excited about the theme, “Honey I shrunk the kids!” I am also excited that I am working to present this play with a lot of amazing people!” London loves being on stage, she often gets compliments about her stage presence and how she is meant for the stage. These amazing praises keep her going, she just loves performing.

MATTEO BREBBIA (Prison Guard Samuel/Ensemble/Instrumentalist) Matteo is excited for his fourth Winterfest at Unquowa. Last year he was court member Tristan, and this year he is prison guard Samuel. This year, Matteo is excited to have the traditional dances back, given that Winterfest has not had all of the traditional dances in a few years because of COVID-19. The thing that Matteo likes most about Winterfest is the fact that everyone, even the little kids, are able to dance and perform something, no matter their skill level.

He likes performing because of the thrill you get while doing so and because of the bonds you create with your fellow performers. When it’s warm, Matteo likes to paddleboard, go sailing, and go to the beach. When it’s too cold to do those things, he likes to play his guitar and fence. Overall, Matteo is very excited for Winterfest this year and hopes everyone enjoys it.
