The Magic of Minimester

Private School Students

Each year Odyssey Middle School designs a collaborative project that is entirely student run.  For the last few years, students have written, scored, built, costumed, and performed an original full-length play. Students worked together to create and develop a strong story centered around their annual theme and then visually translate that story onto the stage.
