The students took a morning trip to the TADA! Youth theater on 28th and Broadway for a delightful, unforgettable experience.
The Educational Theater of New York produced a modified version of Tennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie.” The play was presented strictly to English language learners. After each scene, the students have the option to continue to the next scene or have the actors re-act the scene for better understanding. “The scene is more clear when we get to see it again. It’s what we needed,” said Kristina Kazanjian.
