Western Goes Down The Mississippi

Students at Western Tech had the luxury of floating down a theatrical  Mississippi River with the Classical Theatre Project’s production of Huck Finn. Viewing and participating in live theatre production is an element of the English Curriculum  in Ontario and teachers at WTCS make every attempt to expose students to a variety of  plays and theatre experiences. Principal Linton also subsidizes the cost of tickets to allow as many students to participate as fully as possible. 

“It’s a fantastic way to introduce my students to the performing arts,” says ESL teacher Ms Genine Natale, “This really tests their oral communication skills, but it’s also tons of fun.”

Some of the future theatrical excursions are two Shakespeare Classics: “Romeo and Juliet” and “MacBeth”.
