Desire’ was asked to take drama this year, her senior year in high school.  She has never taken drama before, and “Intro to Drama” is a requirement for this class, which she did not take.  Their first play of the year was Annie, and Desire’ got the leading role, as Annie!  Although she was very nervous, she did a fantastic job.  Katie also had a part as a homeless person.  See if you can find her.  Notice the hair!  Ana, worked behind the scene, as she is in “Intro to Drama” and helped build the set.  Here is a link to pictures from the production.  I am also working on a video of the event.  Great Job Desire’, Katie, and Ana.
