As we look back at David’s first year at LACHSA, we realize what this experience is going to mean to him as he progresses along his artistic path. David is with peers that share his passion for theater, dance, and music. They embrace his joy of singing and dancing and encourage him to express himself. This would not have happened at a “normal” high school. At the end of their first year, the LACHSA Theater Department presented friends and family with their first-year project- “A Sense of Hope”, an emotional voyage through shock, pain, and anguish as experienced by the Japanese victims of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the American internment camps.
It was a fantastic performance that left us breathless and speechless. David had small roles in the production, but was thrilled to be a part of such a moving and meaningful piece.
Here is a video of the entire performance, which is an hour and sixteen minutes long (!) Enjoy it, if you dare…
