    Long Island High School for the Arts is a Nassau BOCES program From the Principal's Desk for our LIHSA Families April 23, 2021 Happy Earth Day This week we celebrated the 51st anniversary of Earth Day! Please continue the celebration of our Earth every day. At LIHSA, we celebrated by planting White Pine Trees on our campus that were donated to us by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. Throughout the week, our LIHSA community had the opportunity to take White Pine Trees to their own homes to plant them in their own yards. More beautification of our grounds will be underway over the coming weeks thanks to Hana Draskin. Hana has chosen to focus her Girl Scouts Gold Award Project on LIHSA's Courtyard. For Hana, LIHSA is more than just a High School. She says,"It is a place of creativity, learning, and experiences that you cannot find anywhere else. LIHSA is so unique and special to the students and faculty that attend. It was a no-brainer choosing LIHSA to be a part of my Gold Award Project." The project goal is to make the LIHSA courtyard a safe space for stress relief, especially in a complicated world. George Farber Outstanding Student Award Winner Sixteen exceptional Nassau BOCES students earned the agency’s prestigious George Farber Outstanding Student Award. These students have demonstrated a variety of remarkable attributed including talent, commitment, honesty, diligence, compassion and high moral standards. Each winner received a personalized plaque, lawn sign and check for $100 from Nassau BOCES Educational Foundation.

    AS YOU LIKE IT, the First Production of Our 50Th Anniversary Season, and the First Show in Our Shakespearean Act

    Welcome It is my pleasure to welcome you to AS YOU LIKE IT, the first production of our 50th anniversary season, and the first show in our Shakespearean act. Shakespeare’s plays have been a cornerstone of our work at CSC, and his writing continues to reflect and refract our triumphs and trials as individuals and collectively as a society. We inevitability turn to Shakespeare to express our despair, bewilderment, and delight. So, what better place to start our anniversary year than with the contemplative search for self and belonging in As You Like It. At the heart of this beautiful play is a speech that so perfectly encapsulates our mortality. All the world’s a stage, and we go through so many changes as we make our exits and our entrances. You will have noticed many changes for CSC. We have a new look, new membership opportunities, and are programming in a new way with more productions and a season that splits into what we have called “acts.” Each act focuses either on a playwright or on an era of work. It seemed appropriate to inaugurate this with a mini-season of Shakespeare, which continues with Fiasco Theater's TWELFTH NIGHT. Then there is Act II: Americans dedicated to work by American playwrights Terrence McNally (FIRE AND AIR) and Tennessee Williams (SUMMER AND SMOKE); very little of our repertoire has focused on classics written by Americans. This act also premieres a new play by Terrence McNally, as I feel that the word classic can also encapsulate the “bigger idea” and need not always be the work of a writer from the past.

Positive publicity can mean increased visibility and ticket sales, and influences the growth of your company in many ways. Most theatre companies, especially in their early stages, cannot afford to hire a professional publicist, but it is not always necessary to do so. It is possible to do a good basic job on your own, since you may, in any case, be able to get just as much press as a professional would. This text is written to guide you in doing just that. This is written specifically as a guide for Off and Off Off Broadway theatres, although the same principles apply to theatres of any tier. If you are a larger-budget organization, you will probably have a separate, trained Public Relations staff, or hire an outside contractor.
