At Tara, our students don't just memorize lines, they immerse themselves in the themes and central questions of their plays. The upcoming 12th-grade production of 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘥 is a powerful example of this deep, experiential learning in action.

The play famously dramatizes the 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial, and our students are exploring the timeless, necessary questions the story raises about freedom of thought, the nature of truth, and the challenges of a divided society.

As they develop their characters, they are grappling with complex themes and essential questions that they themselves identified from their reading of the play, including:
• How do you find balance in opposing beliefs, and is it possible?
• How much does ignorance play a role in hatred?
• How do we find the value in all perspectives and opinions without dismissing anyone's humanity?
• How can opposing sides find the middle ground before it’s too late?
• What’s the line between being right and proving it?

This process transforms the performance from an acting exercise into a vibrant, intellectual, soulful and deeply personal experience for every student involved. They are bringing not just talent, but also critical insight to the world that they enter when the play is over.

We invite you to witness the result of their hard work and thought-provoking exploration. Join us this weekend for a production that promises to be as challenging and insightful as it is entertaining.

Did you know the Scopes "Monkey" Trial was the first ever trial broadcast live on radio? Our 12th-grade students have gone behind the headlines to understand the drama and media frenzy of this historic 1925 courtroom battle (100 years ago, if you can believe it!). They're getting ready to take the stage and share what they've learned in 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘥 at the Nomad Playhouse next week.

Get your tickets for November 21-23! Showtimes are 2:30 pm and 7:30 pm.

The 2025 Kino Bay trip was a truly thought-provoking and inspiring exploration of the coast, islands and inland, all of which are teeming with life, as well the complexities of the overlapping social, cultural and economic relationships with the natural environment of Sonora, Mexico. The sheer magnitude of the life forces the students encountered is breathtaking!

So much gratitude to @kinobaycenter, @prescottcollege and @valentinatorrescomcaac for experiential education at its finest!

On the first day in Kino Bay, the seniors met with the entire staff of the research station for introductions and conversations — in Spanish! Our Spanish students had an opportunity to apply what they’ve been learning for the last few years, asking questions and getting to know the scientists, researchers and educators who work @kinobaycenter.

The Tara seniors recently returned from a week at Prescott College’s Kino Bay Center for Cultural and Ecological Studies in Mexico as part of their zoology block. This multifaceted experience included lessons and field study focused on the ecology of the marine and coastal systems, travel by boat into the Gulf of California and snorkeling the clear blue waters, historical and cultural learning about the region, discussions with local conservationists about efforts to preserve a local estuary environment, a visit to an ancient cardón cactus forest at sunset and so much more!

The coasts and islands of the area have been home to the Comcaac people for thousands of years, and the seniors got to exchange music with, learn from and play traditional games with our indigenous Comcaac hosts. We were also grateful to visit the tribal lands of the Comcaac, learning the names of native plants used for medicinal purposes as well as for basketry, food, ceremony and more.

Michaelmas is the autumnal feast-day to honor St. Michael, the patron saint of courage. Tara's Michaelmas Festival is a presentation of courage-themed art. Each class prepares something to present during the festival. This year's presentations were: the traditional Morris sword dance by the 9th grade; a deeply moving poem written and performed by the 10th grade; an incredibly challenging handbell piece by Mozart performed by the 11th grade; and an adaptation of the play "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail" by Robert E Lee and Jerome Lawrence performed by the 12th grade.

"Work week originated out of the need to create the space for the first Tara 9th grade to have school together. That year, we painted the basement room in the house that was to be our schoolroom, we stained antique chairs that we kept with us as "ours" for the duration of our time in high school, and in general, we engaged our will forces (hello, Michaelmas) in the act of making the learning environment respectable and ready for the adventure we were about to start together!" - Teacher and alum Catherine B

On Saturday night, pianist and beloved faculty member Matt Witherow will perform a deeply personal program in honor of his late father, a complete recreation of a cherished (mostly) Mozart cassette that played throughout his childhood. The evening offers a rare blend of classical brilliance and heartfelt remembrance: a musical time capsule, brought to life on stage.

Matt compares the performance of Mozart to balancing a precious vessel of crystal – something so clear, beautiful and (deceptively) simple that it is incredibly exposed – while walking a tightrope. We know that his father will be with him while he attempts this magic for Tara on Saturday night, and we hope you will be there too!

Matt Witherow in concert: Saturday, September 6 at 7:00 p.m. @nomadplayhouse. Link in IG bio for tix (or get them here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mostly-mozart-matt-witherow-in-concert-tickets-1489158656629). All proceeds benefit Tara’s scholarship fund.

Don’t miss this unforgettable evening of transcendent music, fostering community connections and directly impacting the lives of Tara students!

The 12th graders have returned from their epic leadership expedition, an immersive 10 days in the wilderness on the Green River, rafting through 84 miles of Utah’s rugged and stunningly beautiful Desolation and Gray Canyons. This year, students weathered dramatic rain & hailstorms, saw several bears, were awestruck by rainbows & rockfall, and became proficient paddlers of inflatable kayaks and rowers of 16’ & 18’ rafts, facing the challenges of rocky rapids as well as flatwater in the wind and at times torrential downpour! Heartfelt thanks to @deerhillexpeditions for partnering with us to offer these incredible experiences.

The students are now back on campus for the “discussion days” of their leadership retreat, holding in-depth conversations with leadership council members about key aspects of life at Tara, working together on a collaborative art project, and preparing to put their peer leadership skills to daily use at school, in rehearsals and in life beyond Tara.

Music director, handbell and choir conductor, accompanist and concert pianist – what makes Matt Witherow able do all this?

Before his extraordinary dedication and hard work, and the two very special mentors who (eventually) became part of his journey — Richard Seiler at the University of Louisiana and our very own Laurel Fisher — there was Matt’s dad who always supported his practicing/obsession, who brought home the rickety piano and the sheet music with which Matt picked out the first magical notes that began his lifelong passion, and who just loved Mozart and played and replayed the cassette that began Matt’s whole life in music!

Years later, Matt recreated that childhood soundtrack on Spotify. When he got the call with the news of his father’s passing last spring, listening to that playlist made him feel closer to his dad than he had in a long time. And now he is gifting us with this moving homage through the timeless works of Mozart.

Please join us for an unforgettable evening of transcendent music, fostering community connections and directly impacting the lives of Tara students!

When Matt Witherow was 11 or 12, his dad brought home a free antique piano (Matt says it was just a notch above firewood!) and some simple books of music, thinking he might teach himself to play. Instead, it was Matt who began with the easy-to-learn pieces, messing about on the keyboard to fill the long
Louisiana afternoons.

What a bolt from heaven when, picking out the notes, Matt recognized the melody of one of the pieces from the cassette that his dad had been playing on repeat for as long as Matt could remember! He was dumbfounded that he could make that same sound with his own hands, and this significant spiritual experience was the beginning of a lifelong obsession.

This special piece, Mozart’s C Major Piano Sonata No. 16, K545, opens Matt’s deeply personal program in honor of his late father, the brilliant and heartfelt musical timecapsule he is so
generously offering as a fundraiser for Tara’s scholarship fund.

When Tara bought @nomadplayhouse as our permanent performance home in 2015, we inherited a loft crammed with clothing and costumes from the theater’s long history and vast repertoire. We’ve dipped into that marvelous, mixed-up collection many times since then – and we’ve moved it all (an enormous undertaking) three times! Now, we’ve finally pulled out the pieces we think (hope) we’ll most need. What’s left – so much! – we’re offering at extremely low prices this Saturday on campus. Yes, we’ve got some pangs at parting with it – but we’re excited about the new lives these old friends are about to undertake.

Tara’s 20-year fabric stash – bins and bins full – is also for sale. Given the recent closure of a national chain, this is a great time to stock up!

Saturday, July 19, 10-6, on the Tara campus, 4180 19th St in North Boulder.

Join us to jazz up your wardrobe, get a “new” winter coat, plan or embellish your Halloween costume, add to your dress-up box, choose fabric for quilts or doll clothes or home furnishings – and invite your friends to do the same. This is a unique opportunity to do so much good: support the school financially and reduce the work of clean-up and donation afterward, celebrate the Nomad’s history, bring folks who might not know about Tara onto our campus, and dress the local population with unexpected flair!

Note: Images (thanks, Pixabay, FreePix & others!) are included here to help get you in the mood; they represent some categories of available items, not specific pieces for sale.

Love. Loss. Redemption. And the Ride of a Lifetime. Come experience Carousel, the beloved Rodgers & Hammerstein classic that follows the turbulent love story of Billy Bigelow, a charismatic carnival barker, and Julie Jordan, a gentle mill worker. When fate deals a harsh hand, Billy is given one last chance to make things right — in a story that asks: can love truly conquer time, regret and the weight of our choices?
