taking the train into Center City was

intimidating, but it gives you a sense

of independence, and knowing you can

do it yourself is freeing.

richard mitchell has been experimenting with

different saturday school courses since he was

a freshman in 2008. “saturday school is for

anyone who wants to take the time and learn,

even if you’re not good and don’t consider

yourself an ‘artist,’” he said. “even though

a lot of people are serious, it’s a searching

experience.”

richard attended a public school for his first

two years of high school and said it was difficult

because he didn’t fit into one particular group.

“the area where i live is not very diverse. You

don’t break out of what you’re supposed to

do,” he said. “Here, there were lots of kids like

me. Being around people who are unique and

don’t judge, who don’t fit into stereotypes, it’s

helped me figure out who i am.”

although Julianna Bautista attends a perform-

ing arts high school, they rarely do any training

in improv. “and if we do, it’s just games,” she

said. “this class opened my eyes that improv

is its own whole area of acting.”

while she’s still exploring all the aspects of

theater and thinks she may want to study

directing in college, Julianna said acting has

affected her emotional life on a daily basis.

“You’re trying to train yourself to feel all these

things so that you can have them tucked away

and use them later.”

Julianna said the 10 weeks of saturday school

go by so fast because you get so deep into the

topic of your class. “even when it was over, i

still wanted more.”

saturday school class: improvisation

Here, when you first

walk in the studios you get a very

professional feel.

i don’t know what my

life would be like without the arts.

it’s not imaginable.

Julia wright’s high school has a dedicated

teacher who has worked hard to make their

arts program better. still, the school doesn’t

offer any courses in the specialized area of

fibers. “You need sinks, looms and sewing

machines, and we just don’t have room for

all that.”

growing up with an artistic family, Julia enjoys

the opportunity to learn new things and

experiment with new techniques. “right now

i’m trying to get a foot in everything – even if

it’s just a taste, so i’ll have more of an idea of

what i want to do,” she said. “all i know is if

i’m not going to be in the arts, i’m not going

to be happy.”
