Arts
The Whitfield School Performing Arts department is composed of Amy Allen-Cano, Mary Schnitzler, and Keith Borzillo. Whitfield Performing Arts takes an experimental approach to the way that the mainstage shows are executed. An abstract space allows for the variation of the stage position, audience seating and hanging of lights and speakers. Whitfield School is part of the International Thespian Society and is chapter #5436. The school often employs professional costumers, lighting and sound technicians, and scenic designers. The school puts an emphasis on the performing arts and encourages students to either appear in shows or work backstage as a way to produce a well-rounded student.

Famous quotes containing the word arts:
“all the arts lose virtue
Against the essential reality
Of creatures going about their business among the equally
Earnest elements of nature.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
“The great end of all human industry is the attainment of happiness. For this were arts invented, sciences cultivated, laws ordained, and societies modelled, by the most profound wisdom of patriots and legislators. Even the lonely savage, who lies exposed to the inclemency of the elements and the fury of wild beasts, forgets not, for a moment, this grand object of his being.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
