Notre Dame Academy Junior Thespians took part in the Georgia Junior Thespian Conference last weekend in Columbus! They learned some stage combat techniques, tech skills, Shakespearean and Disco dance steps, and puppetry from a Sesame Street Workshop puppeteer.

Upper School Theater class was excited to have Mr. Yancey Arias visit and talk about the importance of communication, regardless of what career you choose! He also walked the students thru some relaxation and warmup exercises. A few other classes were able to join Theater class for the presentation. Mr. Arias is the son of Dr. Almestica, and he’s in Atlanta shooting for a new ABC series, “Will Trent”. Thank you, Mr. Arias, for taking time to visit!
