German Club By Mrs. Cynthia Hebestreit

The Brentwood German Club attended the Pittsburgh Opera’ s production of Salome on Tuesday, November 8. It was the first German-language opera from the Pittsburgh Opera since 2006 when they performed Beethoven’ s Fidelio. Salome is Richard Strauss’ opera based on the story of John the Baptist and Salome, the daughter of Herod. It was an entertaining distraction for the German club on what just happened to be election night. The German club is hopeful that more Germansung operas will be performed in the 2017-18 season.

Off‘ Script by Saltworks Theatre Company By Mrs. Linda Capozzoli

The Brentwood High School hosted the play Off‘ Script, a play by Tom Long, performed by Saltworks Theatre for grades 9-12. The play is about three high school students who become addicted to prescription drugs. After the realization that they need help to overcome addiction, the characters openly discuss their stories and lean on one another for support. Drug and alcohol addiction is surrounded by stigma and hosting the play is a step in the right direction to start conversations on where to turn for help.
