Torres-East Los Angeles Performing Arts Magnet Vol. 2 Issue 2


ABC DIVERSITY FIELD TRIP

On October 28th, Advanced Theatre students participated in the ABC Studios- Disney Family Channel Diversity Showcase. ABC casting directors did a great job involving students in the rehearsal process. John Villacorta, Vice-President of ABC Casting, who oversees many shows including Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Carter, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder, gave them a clear perspective on how to dive into the industry. Internships, such as those our students receive through the Linked Learning program, are an important element of a successful entry into a career in television.

ELAPA Magnet Orchestra, Theatre, and Choir Performance


On October 30, Orchestra, Theatre, and Choir performed for the school community. It was a fun and energetic show.  The audience could not have been more enthusiastic. We are amazed by the level of talent in evidence.  We had some outstanding solo performances but the ensemble work was equally amazing,  spirited and focused. Over one hundred students performed. What an impressive feat. 





What happens when Rapunzel goes Grunge…Rumpelstiltskin goes Reggae....Snow White is a feminist…and Hansel hangs out with the bad kids?  THE BROTHER’S GRIMM SPECTACULATHON!


On October 27th the Elapa Magnet Theatre Company had the entire school howling with laughter as they performed this fast and funny take on Grimms' classic fairytales.  Directed by Theatre teacher Janet Borrus, the show featured a cast of 20, and included lots of audience participation.
  Our Stage Tech classes designed the set and lights, under the guidance of Technical Director Daniel Guzman
