On Friday 19th of March Grade 4 performed The Gifts of Wali Dad, a tale of India and pakistan told by Aron Shepard.
The children first performed the play as a reader’s theatre but liked it so much they decided they wanted to present it as a theatre play. The children took responsibility for designing and finding their own costumes and props as well as taking on traditional theatre roles such a wardrobe supervisor and stage manager.

Performing and Visual Arts |

 ISN’s extraordinary commitment to the performing arts manifests itself in the school’s steadfast support of the yearly musical. This event often includes students from the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools, as well as a host of faculty and parents, marking it as a unique way of uniting diverse groups of people in a common goal.
While preparing for the musical, students have also had the rare opportunity of working with various professionals in the industry who help them to hone their acting skills, discover technical tricks of the trade in sound and lighting, or costume design.
This year we are proud to present Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Into the Woods!
