    Griffin Theatre in the Spotlight!

    academic spotlight

    In addition to a theatre elective, Griffin School offers students the opportunity to audition for an extra-curricular play production each semester. In spring 2023, under the guidance of program director Robin Grace Soto, students performed Lost Girl, by Kimberly Belflower. An exploration of love, loss, identity and magic, the play continues the story of Wendy Darling, the girl who had to grow up.
