According to Royce Tevis, head chairman of THSPA or 'l-okay High School Performing Arts, Tokay's theatre arts program earned the honor of performing in Russia and that it took a great achievement to be chosen for the trip. THSPA included the theatre arts, the vocals, the instrumentals, the dance program, and a new program, the children theatre program under Larry Linda, who was also the head of the theatre arts program that went to Russia. A group of approxi- mately 30 students accompanied him for the production of Tom Sawyer, which was to be peformed in front of their high school counterparts in the Soviet Union. This was not an inexpensive venture however. Each student had to pay Sl ,700. Other activities included the band's six concert tour of Canada. This was to commemorate Queen Victoria's birthday. Director Royce Tevis also visited a couple of children's hospitals, stopping along to do parades and performances. Even with these prestigious events, Mr.Tevis still wanted the performing arts program to build and expand even more. I would like Tokay to be the magnet school for performing arts, he said, and anyone who wanted to do performing arts could do so, l would also like to have students be able to take a seventh class. l'Vlr.Tevis added THSPA was moving in the right direction because of the coordination of different activities. All four directors fof theatre arts, dance, vocals, and instrumentalsi work together toward a com- mon goal, which is to make the performing arts to be as professional as it can be, he added. by John Park photos by Matthew Silber 4.
