Middle School and Upper School Performing Arts
The WFS Upper School Student Run Production is a yearly tradition where students create, direct, produce (and often write) their own vision for the stage. This year’s production, Yellow Wallpaper, is being directed and led by two seniors. Yellow Wallpaper was adapted from the short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
8th grade students have been working hard on their annual musical. On February 28, students will perform, High School Musical, for the entire school to see. Each member of the class participates—as a member of the cast, pit band, stage crew, or technical crew.
