The Shoestring Ensemble

To be renamed in 2026-2027 to

Stagecrafe on a Shoestring!

Two French Tales

The Shoestring Ensemble 2025-26 performed their adaptation of two French folk tales titled Two French Tales on Friday, January 9th, 2026 in the newly renovated Academic & Performing Arts Center.

Students participate as actors in a drama production in which the ensemble is on stage during the entire performance. Through a series of vigorous group exercises and collaborative planning, the ensemble experience teaches students the strength and beauty that a coordinated group of actors can offer any performance. Class-time rehearsals and tech rehearsals culminate in two required performances at the end of the term.

Envious Sisters

This original adaptation comes from the 1001 Arabian Nights tales.
