Hello everyone! I hope and pray that all of you are as healthy as can be. I understand completely how trying these times can be, and how much we need to come together as a community to move ourselves forward.
Theatre as an art is a very physical and visual study; and like you, I understand the difficulties of continuing to learn from it from a distance. Regardless, I will do all I can to make sure that all of you have the platform and opportunity to freely express yourself, as we have through the duration of this school year. We will be experiencing new things in new ways, and it is times like these that we need to come together to move forward as a class.
If you have any questions, issues or concerns, please feel free to contact me at logan.white@rps205.com
