Glencliff Comprehensive High School goes to Broadway
TPAC Education selected Glencliff Comprehensive High School as the school in which they would work with its drama students to demonstrate the various areas of the creative process and its presentation. Glencliff is the most diverse high school in Tennessee. The student body currently represents over 40 different countries and nationalities. This project paralleled the award winning Broadway play “In the Heights”, presented by TPAC in March 2011.
TPAC enlisted Mimosa Arts to document in video and stills the project primarily funded by the Broadway League. The project started in November of 2010 and continued over the next several weeks.
The students were charged with conceiving, writing and performing their own “In the Cliff” presentation, which was performed at Glencliff Comprehensive High School on December 8, 2010. Then, all students involved in the project were invited to TPAC on March 26, 2011 to meet and work with the actors from the “In the Heights” play before the show. Later that day the students were all treated to an “In the Heights” performance as special guests of TPAC.
Through this whole process and documentation, Karan and I were truly touched at the love and wonderful cooperation these talented students shared. These students are from very diverse backgrounds yet they are very open and sharing with each other! They each have each other's backs.
The following video highlights the activities of the project and the many triumphs of the students.
