The annual Class I play is a time-honored tradition designed to unite Winsor’s incoming class of students and build community. Working together, all 30 students spend their very first semester preparing for the performance. The 2025 offering, The Bird of One Thousand Colors, was an original play written by Theater Director Jeremy Johnson and was inspired by a Cuban folktale in the book Tales Our Abuelitas Told: A Hispanic Folktale Collection by F. Isabel Campoy and Alma Flor Ada. In addition to the script written by Mr. Johnson, the play featured original music by Choral Director Andrew Marshall, choreography by Performing Arts Faculty Ann-Marie Ciaraldi, costumes by Performing Arts Faculty Jessica Pribble, and set and lighting design by Technical Theater Director Andres Puigbo and Theater Assistant Anna Vogler.

A Winsor tradition dating back to 1931, the Class IV Shakespeare play is a culmination of interdisciplinary learning between English, acting, theater, music, and costume courses. Each year, our Class IV students prepare two versions of the show, one historical and one modern, giving our students the opportunity to perform as part of the cast in one, and support their peers behind the scenes with set, costumes, or music for the other. Check out the 2025 production of Twelfth Night—whether students were performing in South Beach or along the Adriatic coast, they brought to life Shakespeare’s story of love and mischief.
