For those of us lucky enough to be in the audience at one of the four sold-out shows last weekend, the experience was deeply moving. Our student cast and crew, under the direction of TA's performing arts teacher, Jeff Seabaugh, created a stunning performance and navigated complex material with nuance, maturity, and compelling authenticity. Kudos to all involved, including the talented adult musicians who comprised the cabaret orchestra. Jeff Seabaugh describes the play's setting and storyline and shares important context about his decision to select Cabaret for this year's musical in the program director's notes (quoted below). What an inspiring example...

Dear TA Families, As is true so many Saturdays throughout the school year, we have students giving their all today, competing and performing in a variety of venues - on the track, on stage, and on the ball field. Best of luck to our high school track and field athletes, the cast and crew of Cabaret, and the JV softball team. We know you'll shine! I want to share a few key resources as we move into the final month of this school year and start to look ahead to the next one.  Looking ahead to next year ...

The Thetford Academy Performing Arts Department is proud to present the Tony Award-winning musical Cabaret, a bold and provocative production set in 1930s Berlin at the famed Kit Kat Club. Blending unforgettable music, dynamic choreography, and powerful storytelling, Cabaret explores themes of identity, resilience, and the societal shifts of a changing world. The show examines the rise of political extremism, the fragility of democracy, and the tensions of a society on the brink of profound change, making its story as relevant today as it was in history. Under the direction of Thetford Academy Performing Arts Teacher, Jeff Seabaugh, this production showcases...

Dear TA Families, 'In service to our community' is the theme of the week. Parents modeled this each day by investing time and effort into making Teacher Appreciation Week a success. We thank you! Meanwhile, students jumped into action today with our annual ODW Service Day - and last Friday too, with advisories and classes participating in the statewide Green Up Day. All of this service for the community required incredible effort from the community. Thanks to everyone involved for making it all happen. ODW student organizers and their faculty advisors, ODW community employers, Green Up Day organizers on campus and in...
