Jonah Parker '10 had a wonderful photograph in today's Providence Journal, taken during a statewide competition in which students presented a monologue and a sonnet by William Shakespeare.

Jonah got his first Shakespearean experience, of course, at Gordon, as a player in the extracurricular Shakespeare in the City project.

Gordon's program enters overdrive next week, with the auditions for the spring production of High School Musical beginning even as the winter production of The Phantom Tollbooth enters its final two weeks of rehearsal.
