Nothing Short of Magic

The extremely talented students of Highlands School will be staging a Highlands School Student Cabaret at the Performing Arts Center, November 17 and 18. There’s no charge for tickets but please log onto HighlandsPerformingArts.com to reserve your seats.
In the heart of our vibrant community, Highlands School in partnership with PAC Educational Theatre are quickly becoming a beacon for education in the performing arts and will continue to show its commitment to nurturing young talents.
The Elementary and Middle School students of Highlands School will come together for a remarkable Student Cabaret performance on November 17 and 18, on the Main Stage at the Highlands Performing Arts Center.
The cabaret is a unique platform that encourages students to explore their creative sides. At Highlands School, the arts are deeply integrated into the curriculum, and the cabaret is a testament to the school’s dedication to fostering the development of well-rounded individuals.
Under the expert guidance of Joi Chapman and the staff of PAC Educational Theatre, the students embark on a transformative journey. The performance will be nothing short of magic, as students get to choose their own material to perform. While the directors and teachers work tirelessly to bring specially selected group ensemble numbers to life.
The performance showcases a diverse array of talent, from soulful singing, dance, and acting. This will be these amazing students’ first chance to perform on the PAC MainStage.
Rehearsals have already started for the student productions of Disney’s Aristocats Kids and You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown (both productions coming early next year). The elementary students started meeting after school once a week in the middle of September, and the middle school students meet daily as an elective course for nine weeks. The students and teachers were so excited that they wanted to give the kids a chance to get on stage again as soon as possible.
Highlands School Student Cabaret will be a night to remember, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of the performers and the audience alike. It will serve as a shining example of how a dedicated educational institution, in collaboration with organizations like PAC Educational Theatre, can shape the future by providing young students with the tools they need to succeed, not just academically, but in all aspects of life.
