We are proud to announce the formation of the Amherst Regional Public Schools Friends of Performing Arts, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization of parents, guardians, students, and
community members committed to providing support for high-quality education in the performing arts at the Amherst Regional Public Schools. We believe that all students should experience the transformative power of the performing arts. In partnership with the Performing Arts program directors, our goal is to provide financial and logistical support to the programs at both the middle school and the high school, and to advocate for continued investment in the Performing Arts Department.
“What makes performing arts great is its ability to attract people for all different reasons: its versatility and its breadth make it the Swiss Army Knife of extracurricular pursuits.” Louis, an ARHS student.
“A society’s competitive advantage will come not from how well its schools teach the
multiplication and periodic tables, but from how well they stimulate imagination and creativity.”
Albert Einstein

What do you do when your town is overrun by ravenous rats? Sara, an orphan girl, and the other Townspeople of Hamelin Town turn to the Mayor of Hamelin and the Council when their town is threatened. They then call on the Pied Piper to save them from the troublesome creatures. The Mayor’s children, staff, and the Cooks also join in the endeavor. Find out what happens when the town chooses not to pay the Piper and the children are led away from the town along with the rats! Follow the original twist on this familiar story as it weaves its way through a landscape full of surprises!
