Cast members from the Middle School play, That’s All Folks!, cluster around Director Tom Carter to help make last-minute decisions before the May 16 opening. The production was funny, lively, and a great success, playing to sold-out houses at every performance. Pre-performance receptions on Friday and Saturday nights highlighted the many benefits students gain from being a part of drama and music—and the need for facilities that will help these programs thrive.
Father Pius found a friendly alien to share a glass of wine with at “Out Of This World!,” the Priory’s annual auction. This exciting, entertaining evening was bigger and better in every way, said Headmaster Tim Molak, with more guests and revenue than ever before.
Students lined up to give a hug and one flower each to Dan Hughes, whose last performance as Priory Choral Director was the Spring Concert in May. Mr. Hughes and Ms. Yenney, orchestral director, dedicated the concert to Priory’s founding monk, Fr. Egon Javor, who stood in the audience for a round of applause from a grateful student community. During his tenure, Mr. Hughes introduced a vocal instruction class and an audition-only advanced choral group, and vastly expanded the Middle and High School choruses’ musical repertoire.
