Coral Springs Christian Academy’s Performing Arts Department has expanded immensely within the past few years. Our Choral and Theatre Arts have grown from part-time programs into flourishing, award-winning curriculums featuring a Christmas Spectacular in the fall and a musical in the spring.
Our Fall Show this year is Searching for the King. The story puts together a Magi named Mordecai, following the Star of Bethlehem, with Benjamin, a modern soldier in the Middle East, 2,000 years later, seeking for answers from above. Both Mordecai and Benjamin are searching for the truth, which they find at foot of the manger. Searching for the King show dates are on December 5th & 6th at 7PM in the Chapel.
Our Spring Show is Thoroughly Modern Millie. Millie Dillmount, a Kansas farm girl, moves to New York City in the fast-paced roaring 20s. She dreams of marry wealthy and taking on the new modern lifestyle. In the midst of finding her new husband, she makes friends, falls in love unexpectedly and almost gets caught up in a sticky situation. Thoroughly Modern Millie show dates are April 25th & 26th 2015 at 7PM in the Chapel.
Coral Springs Christian credits their spectacular perfuming arts success to two of our engaging and creative educators. The Choral Director, Monica Colón, graduated from Nyack College with her Bachelor’s degree in Music. Mrs. Colón joined CSCA in 2010 with the hope of expanding a rather small program. Her dream has flourished into a competitive Choral program with a large group of talented vocalists. The Choral department presents a Hymn Concert in the spring and jointly participates in a Christmas Production in the fall with the Theatre Department. Our gifted choir and outdoor garden patio lighting has earned Superior and Excellent ratings at the ACSI, MPA, and All-State Competitions.
The Fine Arts and Theatre Director is Yesenia Rodriguez. She graduated from Florida State University with a Master’s degree in Theatre. Ms. Rodriguez joined CSCA three years ago. Within her first year, she chartered a Thespian troupe to compete at both district and state theatrical competitions. Students have earned both Excellent and Superior ratings at the Florida State Thespian Competition. The Theatre Department has now ventured into competition at the middle school level by introducing Junior Thespians this year.
