ISW is ambitious about building our creative and performing arts program, and we look forward to working with La Tasha to make our joint dreams a reality! La Tasha is taking over our Select Performing Arts program, which meets Wednesdays after school and is open to area students in grades 6 through 12. Since its founding in 2012, Select has produced two musicals (Sleeping Beauty Kids and Cinderella), performed in many concerts, and delivered Singing Telegrams throughout the area. In 2014-15 we plan to produce two more shows. More details about the shows and auditions coming soon!
