Back by request, Faces of Freedom is a short play by Cynthia Mercati that recounts the stories of teenage immigrants to the US from various time periods. Though the play centers on Maria and Tron, there are characters from all over the world with one thing in common...trying to find the "rhythm of America" so that they can be successful, safe, and/or accepted.

What is Prodigies Theatre Company? 
Created by the 2022 TCHS Theatre III seniors, this theatre company's mission is as follows:

"Prodigies Theatre Company is committed to creating and providing a safe theatrical space for young POC adults. Through inspiring stories and accessible theatre, Prodigies Theatre Company prides itself with being the heart and voice of Trenton Central High School."

#Viral: A Short Play by Maria McConville hit on a subject matter that the seniors thought was highly important for their schoolmates and others around the world. It hits on several intense subjects, so please do not fast forward through the disclaimers that are said at the beginning of the video.

We have started our 2021-2022 school year with a bang. This year's incoming Theatre I class is 30+ strong and full of creativity and energy. The Theatre II class has merged beautifully and creating their own bond. Theatre III has created senior videos to be released this week on our YouTube channel and picked their productions for their season as a theatre company. More on that soon.
