The workshops are divided by art area and taught by Kinder HSPVA students. While participation has no effect on a student’s application to Kinder HSPVA, each workshop is an excellent educational opportunity and a unique introduction to the specific art areas.

Carnegie Theater Company @ Carnegie Vanguard High School Presents "Mojada"
In Mojada, acclaimed playwright Luis Alfaro masterfully reimagines Euripides’ ancient tragedy as a gripping modern day story of an undocumented family.
Torn between holding onto their traditional Mexican roots and adapting to survive in America, the family faces a harrowing choice where assimilation is a matter of life and death.
Blending unexpected humor, rich folklore, and intense suspense, the play builds to a powerful climax that reveals the true cost of chasing a new life. It is a stunning, deeply human portrait of love, sacrifice, and the gripping reality of the American immigration system.
Production playing 7pm on September 11, 12 (play in all Spanish), 18 and 19.
