Advanced Drama Trip to Marin Theatre Company

On Tuesday, September 29th students from the advanced drama class took a field trip to Marin Theatre Company to see the current, acclaimed production of My Name is Asher Lev. An adaptation of the Chaim Potok novel, the play chronicles the struggles of a young painting prodigy torn between his desire to pursue his art and the strictures of his Hasidic upbringing. In preparation for the matinee performance, students workshopped scenes from the play themselves. Immediately following the Marin Theatre Company performance, the students participated in a question-and-answer session with the play's cast. Two TMS drama students, junior Mollie Wilson and senior Hannah Aubry, currently serve on the Marin Theatre Company's Teen Advisory Board.
