It is with immense pleasure and gratitude that we share with you the resounding success of our most recent Kynock Arts Immersion trips.
This spring, we were able to provide enriching and transformative experiences for 60 students from schools in Lawrence and Brockton, Massachusetts. The students embarked on unforgettable journeys to witness the magic of live theatre, free of charge.
Our first adventure took us to the historic Strand Theatre in Dorchester, Massachusetts, where students from Esperanza Academy in Lawrence enjoyed a captivating performance of Shakespeare’s timeless classic, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Their laughter, awe, and engagement throughout the show were a testament to the power of the arts to inspire and ignite imagination.
The Esperanza teacher on the trip said, “We love it! Such a huge gift to our school and students.”
In our second trip of the spring, we brought students from New Heights Charter School in Brockton to Emerson College’s Greene Theater. Our group of middle and high school students were treated to a thrilling retelling of of Peter Pan in “Second Star to the Right,” a play written by an award-winning student playwright. The students were drawn in by a performance of young artists just several years older than themselves.
“This was awesome,” said a teacher after the trip, “It was a great way to get our scholars into the theater and show them an experience they might not have had before.”
As we celebrate the success of these immersion trips, our spring is not complete.
We will take another two groups from these schools in the coming weeks to “A Wrinkle in Time” at the Wheelock Family Theater and to the Boch Wang Theater to see the world-renowned Alvin Ailey Dance Company perform live on stage.
Help us support future trips by making a gift today.
