PTF Arts Alliance Decorates the Foyer
The Performing Arts Center foyer has once again been transformed with holiday decorations by the creative members of the PTF Arts Alliance. This year’s decorations are inspired by the theme, “Harmony” as evidenced in the ornaments and other display items that represent the settings of this year’s theater productions. The US play, Boeing! Boeing!, is represented by airplane ornaments and a flight attendant costume next to the tree. The upcoming MS Play will be Anne of Green Gables, and there is a train underneath the tree to help depict one of the settings from the show. The MS Musical Lion King Jr., is visible in African-themed ornaments and a Broadway poster replica hanging near the tree. The Lower School grades 4 and 5 musical, Fantastic Mr. Fox is represented on the tree with foxes and farm produce.
There are musical instruments, dance-themed ornaments, and visual art pieces representing the various creative elements that students enjoy as part of the Arts of St. Margaret’s.
