The Westridge Academy admits only students of proven academic achievement, artistic talent and community leadership, and provides them with an ideal environment to hone their creative abilities. Westridge students are shielded from the hypocrisy and intrigue of public high schools and free to express themselves through their work.
Tonight celebrates the reopening of the West Gallery for student use, and in honor of the occasion a small dance is being held within the Gallery's reception space for the most prominent juniors and sophomores in each discipline. Formal dress is expected.
"... For Art's Sake" is a drama in one act on the topics of love, rebellion, honesty and self-expression. It is a "real world, serious issues" game, and actors must be willing to deal with high volumes of angst, rage, and guilt; they should be ready for anything. 18+ only.
Benderskaya, Liliya
Despite her mild-mannered present-day appearance, in reality, Lily hails from the future – a barren, dystopian world in which the Soviet Union rules all. Yes. Despite having dissolved in 1991. How does that work? Well…let’s just say there was an incident involving a time paradox and an exploding ClichéMatic, and leave it at that.
Having been abandoned in the past by a faulty time machine, Lily proceeded to sit on her ass, write and play in LARPs, and major in Psychology. She swears she’s making every effort to return to her own time. Others, meanwhile, see her scarfing down peach muffins and admiring the sunset, and aren’t so sure.
Root, Victoria
Victoria was the unexpected result of the union of the god Odin and a bored farmwife. She never felt herself to belong to the world of stone huts, superstition and narrow-mindedness, and at the age of eighteen she struck out, accompanied by a talking animal companion and a one-dimensional love interest, on a heroic quest to find her father.
Her life since has largely been intertextual, although over the intervening centuries she has managed to interact with her love interest enough to achieve two-dimensionality. Her talking animal companion has proven teleologically complicated.
When not retreating to take solace in peculiar and empty dimensions, her primary hobbies include torturing noncoporeal entities and feigning intoxication in public places for unspecified purposes. She has never been to Portugal.
