End of year CAPA

Hello all!
What a wonderful year of CAPA!
Thank you to all who came to celebrate at our banquet this year and congratulations to Alexis McLeod, Eli Cavaliero and Nick Hill who were awarded the Anna Bonde Scholarship. Nick Hill who was awarded the CAPA Character Award, Eli Cavaliero who was given the Legacy Award and the whole Movement class for a special award given by Mrs. K. as well as the winners of the performance awards!
All 260 people in the banquet hall had a great time celebrating the year!
Here is a little recap and some photos of the year.














      Acting Three gets prepared for our production of CATS next year in their annual makeup unit!





MEOW!


Acting Two did a great job at the Barnes and Noble Book Fair too! Here are some pics of that fun event!

Much fun was had by all at the annual Murder Mystery Dinner! 











Congrats to Sophie Tomasi for representing CAPA Acting at the Poetry Out Loud competition in Lansing. 



The annual Acting Showcase was full of talent...so amazing!
