Today, our students had the honor to sit with local traiteur, musician, and storyteller, Becca Begnaud. They interviewed her as the first step in their playwriting process.

Teaching these young french speakers about local culture and using their French language to tell these stories to the public is at the heart of our mission.

Our show plays in May. Stay tuned for info on how to get tickets.
