Frost Middle School Actors Put On Virtual Cabaret

Press release from Deer Park School District:

March 24, 2021

Young actors at Deer Park’s Robert Frost Middle School recently challenged their dramatic and singing skills during these difficult times, presenting a special version of the Robert Frost Cabaret. Lauren Stein and Lori Sullivan, the directors of the Cabaret, were determined to have the students shine even if they had to do it virtually.

Since the students could not offer a live performance, they created a true cabaret-style production, concentrating on famous musicals. The students were given the opportunity to sing a Broadway song or recite a monologue of their choosing. They then compiled all of the videos and made a movie production for the community to enjoy.

Participating students from all grades included Frankie Alfieri, Ava Azzaretto, Caiden Boltz, Cassidy Boltz, Baileigh Braithwaite, Rebecca Comba, Aubret Goetz, Valentina Plaza, LaSheena Pottinger, Ashleigh Rauch, Ava Sacarin, Arielle Salgado, Jaidyn Schabe, Jeremy Theroux and Eve Valentine.

“We could not be prouder of how they handled themselves throughout the production process, which was very unusual for us all,” Stein said. “However, true to form, they persevered and were able to give us a show that we can all be proud of.”
