Attending an opera is an opportunity most high school students don’t get. Theater students at Denver Montessori Jr/Sr High recently had their first experience with opera when they attended “Die Tote Stadt.”

February 3rd, 2023 the DMHS farm school put on a musical: The Jungle Book, based on the story by Rudyard Kipling, with music by George Bruns, and directed and choreographed by Robin Yokel, the theater teacher at DMHS. There were about 100 friends and family members in the audience and 24 students performed (including actors, tech, light and curtains). The cast had rehearsed every Wednesday since late August until the show on February 3rd.
Normally, a few thousand school children marching through the streets might be a cause for concern. But in Denver, Colorado, it marks one of the most exciting events in the school year.
Every April, Downtown Denver is home to the yearly Denver Public Schools Shakespeare Festival, where students of all ages from schools across Denver come together to march in a costumed parade and perform scenes and plays by Shakespeare. The event lasts all day, with scenes and plays performed simultaneously on many stages. The Festival is filled with children, teachers, community members, and parents, as students show off their acting chops.
On December 8th and 9th, 10th-12th grade theater students performed their annual musical. This year's production was "Spamalot," a whacky musical based on the cult classic movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Fans of the film saw many of their favorite Monty Python lines and songs brought to life, with some new twists and turns thrown into the original story.
This was the final DMHS musical for seniors Marisa Mulryan, Kirra Lindauer, Joaquin Weeda, Drew Wood, and China Omenai. We thank them for so many years of wonderful performances, and wish them well in their future theater endeavors!
