The Stewart School fourth grade students in Garden City had an extraordinary opportunity to collaborate with the renowned New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players on April 12.
During the course of two immersive days, students delved into the world of operetta, specifically focusing on the story of “The Pirates of Penzance.” Under the guidance of NYGASP professionals, they honed their skills in character development and the art of performance, preparing for their moment in the spotlight.
Leading up to the culminating day, students dedicated themselves to mastering excerpts of the ensemble songs from “The Pirates of Penzance” in their music classes. Their hard work paid off as they took the stage alongside the cast of NYGASP, delivering a stellar performance that left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.
The collaboration was a testament to the power of arts education in fostering creativity, confidence and teamwork among young learners. This unforgettable experience will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on the students involved, inspiring them to continue exploring the world of music and theater.
