Oyster River High School is one of only 33 schools from throughout New Hampshire that will be participating in the NH State Council on the Arts Artist Residency Program this year. During October and November Oyster River High School will be hosting World Myths and Legends an Artist in Residence Program. Author, Katherine Towler of Portsmouth; story theater artist, Genevieve Aichele of the NH Theatre Project; musician, Randy Armstrong; and artist and set designer, Mark Ragonese will be in residence at ORHS to work both separately and together with students. They will explore the traditions of oral storytelling by reading and discussing myths and folk tales from around the world, writing original folk tales, transforming these tales into dramatic scripts, learning the tools of story theater, developing musical accompaniment of the stories and creating a set to support the theater pieces.
The final production, which will be story theater for children of all ages, will be performed in two evening performances on November 22 in the ORHS cafeteria at 6:30 and 8:30 pm. Tickets will be adults - $3, student - $2, with a family maximum of $10. We invite all district families to see this exciting production!
