After a much-awaited, year-long preparation, Tecumseh Vista Academy is putting on its largest, most challenging production to date: She Kills Monsters: Young Adventurers Edition by Qui Nguyen and licensed by Concord Theatricals. This play will feature the creative contributions from a mix of multi-talented students from our art department who collaborated to support the play. This includes an original score and soundtrack by music students, Jamal Sghaier and August Fong-McNamara; hand-painted sets and artwork, designed by Olivia Basile, Ms. Melissa Salvati, and the art club; as well as carefully designed costumes and props, by Ms. Lynne Comartin, Lieneke Laflamme-Perrin, and the drama club . Drama club students were trained in stage combat along with our Arts and Culture SHSM students by a professional fight choreographer, Brianna Love.
