2025 Senior Visual Arts Showcase - May 19 | 6:30-7:30 PM
Celebrating Vision, Voice, and Discovery
Join us in the Performing Arts Center Lobby as we honor the creative journeys of the SSFS Class of 2025 in this year’s Senior Visual Arts Showcase. This dynamic exhibition features an inspiring range of work in painting, sculpture, photography, digital media, mixed media, and installation art—each piece reflecting months of exploration, risk-taking, and personal growth.
Rooted in Quaker values of reflection and authenticity, the Showcase invites viewers into the minds and hearts of our young artists as they grapple with identity, community, memory, and imagination. These senior projects are not just final assignments—they’re visual essays, emotional portraits, and bold declarations of artistic independence.
We invite families, friends, and the wider SSFS community to experience the power of youth expression and celebrate tomorrow's visionaries.

Ready for Revelry? Experience the joy, the mistaken identities, and the irresistible music of Twelfth Night the Musical, conceived by Kwame Kwei-Armah & Shaina Taub, with a vibrant score by Shaina Taub!
Lost in a strange land after a shipwreck, the resourceful Viola disguises herself as her brother, Cesario. She finds herself entangled in a web of unrequited love, hilarious mishaps, and unexpected connections. As she navigates the affections of the Duke Orsino and the captivating Olivia, a riotous subplot unfolds with the mischievous Sir Toby Belch, the witty Maria, and the perpetually tormented Malvolio. Bursting with infectious melodies, clever lyrics, and a heartwarming story of love in its many forms, Twelfth Night the Musical is a delightful and contemporary take on Shakespeare's beloved romantic comedy.
