Fine Arts
Charleston Collegiate has announced the schedule for their annual Spring Fine Arts Week, April 28 – May 3. Celebrating a week of artist talent, the school will offer plays, art shows and a choral performance featuring both student and professional performers. The week will kick off with the United States Premiere of a new musical, “Daisy and the Wonder Weed” by Jean Elliot Manning. All performances will be held in the Charleston Collegiate auditorium and are open to the public at no charge, although donations are accepted.
The schedule follows:
Monday, April 28 – “Daisy and the Wonder Weed” 1:20 and 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday, April 29 – Kinetyx Dance Co. (Charlotte, NC) 1:20 p.m.
Wednesday, April 30 – Charleston Collegiate Middle and Upper School Chorus 1:20 p.m.

Saturday, May 3 - “Scapin” by Bill Irwin and Mark O’Donnell 7:30 p.m.
Fine Arts are an integral part of daily life at Charleston Collegiate. A devoted team of professionals provide classes in the visual arts, music and theater to students in all grades. Students in the Lower School have classes in art and music weekly, and students in the Middle School are instructed in drama, art and music every week. There are opportunities to fine-tune talents through the high school choir, the band, and Studio Art classes that offer glass and metal work, jewelry making, and glass-blowing as well as the more traditional mediums. Full-scale productions of plays and musicals are presented three times a year, and a respected member of the Screen Actor’s Guild encourages impromptu “Guerilla” Theater offerings twice a month during lunch. Eighth graders take a required Media class that films and edits a weekly newsmagazine program for the school. A challenging course in film study is followed by a course in film making that allows students to produce digital films using Final Cut Pro, the same software used in Hollywood.
