Canterbury Students Shine in Guerrilla Theater

Take a group of about 40 students, lock them inside the Canterbury’s Performing Arts Center for 24 hours, and ask them to craft an original show from scratch on a single unified theme. Welcome to Guerrilla Theater!
Students in our Upper School successfully took on this challenge by Canterbury’s Arts Department during the weekend of January 13-14, 2017. They were divided into teams and charged with different elements of the show. After hours of collaboration and creativity, mixed in with a little sleep deprivation, the students showed off their work to an audience. The incredible finished production centered around the theme of Life Lessons.

“Guerrilla Theater was a project designed to push us to our creative limits. It was full of passion and fun, but not without times of stress and deep concentration. It was amazing. I would recommend it to anyone,” shares Bianca D. ’17.

This is the first year for Guerrilla Theater at Canterbury, a program brought to our school by our new Director of Fine and Performing Arts, William Eyerly. “I created this program many years ago as a way to encourage teamwork between the different art divisions in a school,” explains Eyerly.
