ARTS ALLIANCE MEMBERSHIP
Pursuing the Fine Arts is a way of life for many Montverde Academy students. The arts offer a
way for students to unleash their creativity through self-expression. We realize the importance of
fostering this artistry. Our Fine Arts department, staffed by talented and knowledgeable faculty who
are artists in their own right, provides students with exceptional music, theatre, visual arts, media
arts, and conservatory programs.
Our Fine Arts programs have achieved high marks of success, and through these programs,
students reach new heights in their innovation and originality. The Montverde Academy Arts Alliance
was established to help financially support the Academy’s Fine Arts programs and continue our
tradition of excellence in the arts.
“The Theatre Conservatory has no shortage of demanding work.
As the years go on, classes can get harder and more intense, but
the most challenging part was certainly having to step up and
criticize your peers. Art only exists through constant conversation
between artists and audiences, so having to build that trust with
my peers and be open to the lessons they taught me, as well as
having to give advice to others myself was the toughest, and most
important, skill to gain.”
Aidan Fracker ’21, Theatre Conservatory, Wright State University

TALENTED. DEDICATED.
“I’ve been challenged in the
conservatory in more ways
than I can count. Learning to
dance ballet, tap, and more
recently, contemporary hip
hop and jazz, has pushed and
challenged me more than
most people realize. With
these challenges, however,
I have grown to be a better
dancer and performer. ”
CJ Rosado ’22
Theatre Conservatory
“When it comes to
enhancing our talent, not
only does the conservatory
stretch my abilities in
acting, singing, and dance,
but it’s taught me valuable
life lessons such as time
management, teamwork,
and how to keep mental and
physical stamina. ”
Sydney Barker ’23
Theatre Conservatory
“I hope the end result of
my experience in the Music
Conservatory is a better
understanding of all music
and a better appreciation for
it. I want the ability to pass
on what I have learned to
other musicians. I will move
onto college knowing that I
was prepared well for it and
begin making music for the
world to enjoy.”
James Tanis ’22

“Being able to attend a Montverde Academy theatre performance is like
having Broadway in my backyard, and being an Arts Alliance Member
allows me an opportunity to say ʻthank you.’ ”
Connie Tambling
“The Arts Alliance receptions are an exceptional way for members to come
together to enjoy each other’s company. Each reception is better than
the next. It is my favorite night during show week as we can share each
other’s excitement for the entertainment ahead of us, not to mention the
always fantastic food and beverage.”
