NEWSIES: Torch production
The Torch Players are the oldest age group of the TORCH Drama Club, comprised of students aged 15 and up who perform the season's big spring musical. The Torchies are a stunningly talented group of young actors who perform family-friendly musicals, including dramas like The Sound of Music, and comedies such as Singin' in the Rain, Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and Bye Bye, Birdie.
​
Every Torch show amps up the production skills of the cast and crew, especially in regards to choreography. This year's title of Newsies - a revival of the 2020 Newsies production that was unfortunately canceled due to Covid - presented not only intense fight and dance choreography, but also a beautiful cast of old and new friends who brought a myriad of music, acting, and dancing talent that made this production great!

​
Every Sparks show amps up the production skills of the cast and crew, especially in regards to acting, costumes, props, and fencing choreography.

Pinocchio: Embers Production
The Embers Players, the youngest age-group in TORCH consisting of 10-11 year old students, performs a one-act production every year. A main attraction of the group is its production crew, which usually almost entirely consists of Torch and Sparks members who have volunteered their time teaching the skills they've learned in thr group to the young actors. Volunteer parents and graduates create sets, props, costumes, and often even write the shows.
​
This year, the young actors performed a lovely production of Pinocchio, complete with a growing nose and a whale onstage!
