Experiential Learning Opportunity:

To explore the starting point, "What's in a Box," the cast had an experiential learning trip to an escape room and an art exhibition of Team Lab at the Art District of 798. 

The performance, "Not a Box" was  accompanied by an interactive Art Exhibition called, "Box World," were students created sculptures and art pieces from recycled boxes and cardboards.

​Huge congrats to Hannah Northcott 
and her team for stepping out and trying something really different and innovative in the realm of Middle School Theater.   The drama, Not a Box, and the exhibition, BoxWorld, pushed students to their creative and collaborative limits.  A bit grittier and darker than your average middle school production, Not a Box explores the depths of adolescent stress, homework, and the pure evil of stairs.  But the response in the end is a bold statement to be positive, spirited, and seek a fruitful existence that encourages. - Dr. Jon Hill (MS Principal)
