Community Outreach Show

Talia's Advanced Acting Class performed their Community Outreach Piece at P.S. 314 on May 18, 2017. This is the second year in a row where the Acting students from Renaissance High School for Musical Theater and Technology, performed for students at this local elementary school in the Bronx. The piece was called, "Just Another Day At School", addressing issues regarding bullying (including a Post-Show Q & A with the actors). The show was a complete success and the students were deeply impacted by the student actors. The audience was comprised of 3rd and 5th grade students. Last year, Talia's Introductory Acting Class performed "Alice in Wonderland" for Kindergarteners.

The outreach program is part of Talia's vision for the Theater Department at Renaissance High School, to bring free theater to the community.

Broadway Bridges

This year, Talia participated in the pilot year for the Broadway Bridges Program, presented by The Broadway League. The initiative of the program is to bring NYC public high school students to Broadway (specifically targeting 10th grade). The program provides participating schools with generously discounted tickets of $10 per ticket for a Broadway show. Through Broadway Bridges, Talia was able to take students of Renaissance High School for Musical Theater and Technology to see "Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway. For many, this was their first time attending a Broadway show.
