Congratulations to the cast and crew of “Much Ado About Nothing.” The Upper School Winter Play was a smashing success.
Bravo, Romans!
Check out photos from the show below.
Find this story on Latin's Instagram page.
Read the description of the production:
The Upper School Winter Play: Much Ado About Nothing is performing February 5, 6, and 7 at 7:00 PM in the Wrigley Theatre with a preview performance February 4 at 4:45 PM. 25 cast members and 10 crew members have learned to interpret the elevated and poetic language of the Bard and bring this classic play to life in a beautiful production. Much Ado About Nothing is a comedy by William Shakespeare where a seemingly perfect romance between Hero and Claudio is shattered by a malicious plot, leading to a whirlwind of misunderstandings and accusations. Meanwhile, the only thing Beatrice and Benedick have in common is that they are both firmly anti-marriage, but despite the witty barbs they throw at each other, they are fooled into admitting their true feelings. Come watch one of Shakespeare's most hilarious plays, where despite the "much ado" of pride, deception, and intrigue, true love prevails.

Latin’s seventh grade classes created a “Take What You Need” bulletin board to help students, faculty, and staff navigate the winter blues and manage stress. The board is filled with notes of encouragement that the seventh graders wrote under themes like resilience, confidence, kindness, focus and hope.
Anyone passing by the board who needs a little inspiration or a quick pick-me-up is invited to take a note.
A big shoutout to our seventh graders for their thoughtful effort in fostering positivity and support within our Middle School community.
