The event will begin with a program highlighting student art and performance, followed by break-out sessions that give students and parents the chance to meet faculty and students from each department.
Booker High School’s VPA program offers intensive, comprehensive study opportunities in the areas of dance, music, theatre, television and film, and visual art. Students are exposed to numerous performance and exhibition opportunities on campus, with a full main-stage performance schedule, film showcases and numerous art exhibits.
The VPA departments also partner with local, regional and national arts affiliates, offering students broad and prestigious exposure in their area of interest. Graduates of the program include Academy Award winner Bill Corso (Best Makeup for “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events”), American Idol finalist Syesha Mercado, Broadway actor Darren Ritchie (“Dracula,” “Les Misérables”), and other successful artists in several disciplines.
