Addison Repertory Theatre (ART) Presents The Flying Doctor
ART's production of the short Moliere play The Flying Doctor premiered on Thursday, April 8th. The video will be available to view for two weeks at this link; there's no cost to watch, but you must request a ticket to access the video.
ART students have updated the original story of a young couple resorting to trickery to meet in secret and the less-than-clever servant they've employed to aid them; they've also created the masks inspired by the commedia dell'arte characters found in the play.
We hope you'll take time to enjoy this short play (it runs about 48 minutes)!
There's still room in ART (both performance and technical theatre) for the 21-22 school year. See below for how to apply.
Design & Illustration Program Happenings
Ellis Rosen joined the Design & Illustration class to talk about life as a cartoonist and illustrator. Students asked questions about his career, his creative process, and life. Ellis lives in Brooklyn, NY. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, MAD Magazine, The Washington Post, Wired, The Paris Review, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and Air Mail. He is the illustrator of a children's chapter book, Woundabout, and a contributor to the Eisner-nominated graphic anthology Yiddishkeit: Jewish Vernacular and the New Land. Thanks Ellis for lending us your expertise!

Medical Professions Program Competes In HOSA Event and Attends HOSA Conference
On Monday April 5th, our Medical Professions 1 students competed in a statewide test with Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA). The Hannaford Career Center had a strong membership this year with 8 members participating. Placing as a silver medalist in Cultural Diversity was Savannah Thomann. Congratulations Savannah!
On Friday April 9th, they attended the statewide conference via Zoom. They listened to guest speakers Dr. Mark Levine, VT Commissioner of Health, Stephen Jameson, RN DHART, and a medical assistant from Dartmouth Hitchcock speak on various topics. Throughout the week there were numerous drawings where Ainsley Busby and Reese Fitzgerald won masks. In the closing ceremony, a member from each chapter was randomly chosen to receive an Amazon gift card. Our winner was Kenene Otis. Congratulations to all.
Natural Resource Management Program Student Perspectives
As a junior and senior I took Wildlife Management, Heavy Equipment Operation, and Intro to Forestry. I really enjoyed every class. They all had a nice balance of class work and field work. Almost everything I learned in the classroom was applied to the work we did in the field which made it a lot easier to learn. I got to experience some opportunities I never would've encountered outside of the class with VT Fish and Wildlife, biologists, foresters and more. Some of the skills I learned have already helped me to get a job. I'm planning on going to UVM in the fall for wildlife biology. - Adin
There's still room in all Natural Resource Management courses for the 21-22 school year. See below for how to apply.
