This Thursday, November 29th, Sturgis held an Arts Cafe in the Sturgis East Annex. The idea behind the cafe is that students would come and perform various types of arts such as music, poetry, and theatre acts in front of an audience of parents.
The event was open to the public, so a few unassociated visitors came as well. The money that was raised by the five dollar donations at the door went to help Hurricane Sandy survivors.
Hosted by sophomore English teacher Ms. Watts, the Arts Cafe was held at the school; the audience filled up a full room and a half, and there were food and drinks served at the table. Students from both Sturgis East and West came to perform.
The first event was an encore presentation of the S.T.A.G.E play Degas C’est Moi performed by mostly East students- a brief but witty comedy about an average man who wants to live a day of his life as Degas. The next performance was a song called “I Kissed a Girl” by Ella Hunt, who sang beautifully with a guitar accompaniment. Another performance was a cover of “I Won’t Give Up” by Jason Mraz, which was skillfully performed as a duet by sophomores Jacob Tobey and Katie Roderick. Finally, Senior Jackson Fryer performed a song on his banjo: “June Hymn” by The Decemberists.
The Arts Cafe was a great opportunity for Sturgis students to show off gifts few knew they had, and support one another in the skills they are developing.
