Nineteen CBA students represented the school at the New York State Theatre Education Association’s annual high school drama conference at the Villa Roma Resort and Hotel in Callicoon, NY recently.

The New York State Theatre Education Association is a statewide organization of theatre educators that promotes and supports theatre education for students in grades pre-K through 12.

The conference created an opportunity for approximately 800 high school students from all over New York State to come together for a full weekend of learning and peer interaction. The students attended workshops given by colleges, universities and other theatre professionals, as well as networking with one another and experiencing a variety of performances throughout the conference.
