Annual Haunted House & Halloween Carnival!

Don't miss this annual event at APR!

Friday, Oct. 26 at 6-8pm

Carnival games for kids of all ages and a haunted house to scare even the bravest of souls.

A great Thespian tradition for the entire family!

I can't believe we've been doing this event for so many years now. It started with just a few games and some haunted rooms on the upper floors of our small school. It's now expanded to an annual event with over 10 games, a huge haunted house tour, and great food to enjoy, too. All made possible by the creativity of our Thespian troupe and the generous help and support of the Thespian Booster families! I am so proud of this fantastic Thespian tradition for APR.

Drama question 2.1

In Ancient Greece, one of the purposes of theatre was to teach moral lessons or learn the difference between right and wrong.
Today, we still read these ancient Greek plays, such as Oedipus the King.
What can we learn from the ancient story of Oedipus that can be applied to modern day life?
