Walt Whitman’s thespians enjoyed a moment of special tribute recently as they were recognized and inducted into the International Thespian Society. We congratulate these new inductees and their advisors, Mrs. Susan Radin and Ms. Lauren Godbolt and thank them for epitomizing the characteristics of leadership, scholarship, character and service.
The evening, dubbed ‘Curtain Call,’ featured thirteen performances most of which were written, directed, and choreographed by Whitman’s finest and all performed by our best thespian talent. Thank you to our actors: Edward Pena, Madeline Franz, Julia Crapanzano, Kaitlyn Clark, Ashlee Cox Pinckney, Shay Lublin, Marygrace Riley, Sarah Pratt, Ethan Thody, Alexandra Sales, Diana Fogel, Joe Maye, Jordin Rubin, Phil Clark, Chris Portillo Gomez, and Lily Majewski
Congratulations to the new officers for the 2023-24 school year:
President: Deanna Valentin
Vice President: Lily Majewski
Treasurer: Jaren Smullian

The evening would not have been possible without the tremendous support from the following: Advisors Mrs. Susan Radin and Ms. Lauren Godbolt, President Edward Pena, Vice President Deanna Valentin, Secretary Morgan O’Donoghue, Treasurer Jaren Smullian, Publicist Madeline Franz, our sound crew, pit crew, our Lamplighters and their advisor Mr. Dave Rickmers.
Senior Julia Crapanzano impressed the audience once more with the opening performance of "All That Jazz" from Chicago: The Musical.
Whitman dancers showed off their moves in a number of the evening performances.
The final performance, "No Time at All" from Pippin, was a fun conclusion to the evening.
Our Senior members will be missed! Best of luck to (left to right) Julia Crapanzano, Kaitlyn Clark, Edward Pena, Madeline Franz, and Ashlee Cox Pinckney!
