High school students stand in a row on stage, holding books in their hands. One student with curly hair stands forward slightly.

As our high school theatre students prepare to stage six productions this fall, we’re going behind the scenes to hear about the different creative components students learn to bring these plays to life.

North Central High School actor Brenna White shared her process of developing her character for “26 Pebbles,” a play based on interviews of Newton, Connecticut residents following the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.


North Central Masque Club will present a viewing of “26 Pebbles” for their peers and family next week. The public will be invited to attend their performances of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” in December. Check out North Central Events for details.
