An initiative approved by California voters to support public arts in schools is helping a South Bay school put on a special play.
Students at Blanca Alvarado School in San Jose are debuting their original, one-act play, called "The Circus of Magic and Mysteries.""You won't see it anywhere else. It's one of a kind," said Jessica Archunda, a seventh-grade student.Students between fifth and eighth grades in the drama club spent an entire year writing, designing, producing, and acting in this play.
It is named after a longtime community leader and youth advocate in Santa Clara County.Drama club instructor, Kelsey Wilk said this play gives students a sense of accomplishment that standard lessons in other classes may have a difficult time duplicating."We get to take all of our amazing ideas and there's no such thing as no," said Wilk.
