Youth Theatre Performs Echoes for SMS Students

SKANEATELES, NY (March 6, 2018) – The Merry-Go-Round Youth Theatre visited the Skaneateles High School auditorium on Monday to perform Echoes for Skaneateles Middle School students.

The performance program featured original scripts written by middle school students across the state, including Skaneateles Middle School.

Merry-Go-Round actors brought the students’ writing—funny, thought-provoking, or heartfelt—to life with costumes and props, musical instruments, and characters from zany to poignant. The resulting show was unique and memorable, and featured at least one author from every school that took part in the program.

The largest touring children’s theatre in Upstate New York and one of the largest in the country, The Merry-Go-Round Youth Theatre reaches more than 100,000 students across the state through its curriculum based multi-discipline Sequential Dramatics Program.

The organization has blossomed into one of the nation’s foremost professional touring youth theatres in the country, offering performances, workshops and study guide materials tailored to each grade level.

Several Skaneateles Middle School students were recognized for their scripts including Sophia Aureden, Alexis Barron, Michael Blowers, Jackson Kennedy, Jack Phillips and Jake Williams.

The day’s featured author in the program was Ella Bobbett with her piece, “An Adventure Worth Wild.”
