Tonight is an important one for Valyrian Bards. The troupe will be farewelling our first Seniors and founding actors, Matthew Brodermann and Maria Arduini. It is also our debut in a professional venue as well as performing William Shakespeare.
This dream began in 2017 as a school club, but we all committed to make it the school's troupe. Endless hours of work, rehearsals, costumes, sets, props, and fundraising brought us together with a higher purpose: share our passion for the performing arts with our Dragon family and hopefully our communities.
Theater is like a village with lots of talented people in many areas helping each other, overcoming setbacks, and creating options while learning to be resilient.
