1. Empire State Partnership with Margaretville Central School
The photographs in this power point presentation represent the various programs The Open Eye Theater has done with the students at MCS.
We have worked with many of the students for several years and have enjoyed watching them grow not only as individuals but as young actors.
There are several of the MCS students who are now actors on our main stage as a result of their interest in the theater which they were introduced to during these partnerships with the school.
