The Show Must Go On!

When quarantine forced the cancellation of their spring performances, members of the International Thespian Troupe at the Upper School took the old theater adage to heart and invited their fellow students to submit at-home performances for a special virtual showcase. The showcase includes acts from students in every grade at the Upper School as well as some of our alumni who volunteered to once again share their time and talents.

While our students can't wait for the day that they can perform live on stage for you again, they are excited for the chance to share their gifts with our community and prove that the thespian spirit is alive and well at Bay Ridge Prep! We invite you to sit back and enjoy The Show Must Go On Showcase!
