The County covers theatre students’ touring show performance in Houlton
The County reported five students from the University of Maine’s School of Performing Arts visited Houlton Elementary School to perform a touring show on March 20. The cast performed “Can You Imagine?” an original play with lots of improvisation, at Houlton Elementary and nine other Maine schools during their spring break. The students — Ethan Leonard, Keely Gonyea, Mitchell Arsenault, Angelina Buzzelli and stage manager Asher Mason — rehearsed for seven weeks before the tour, according to the article. Leonard said the group was not receiving extra credit and the show was not part of their coursework, that their goal instead was to provide exposure to theater for elementary students while experiencing parts of the state other than the UMaine campus.
