SPOTLIGHT ON THE ARCHBISHOP WOOD FINE ARTS PROGRAM
Archbishop Wood High School in Warminster Township boasts one
of the largest, most accomplished arts and music programs in the
region. We asked four of the program’s faculty about their roles,
their challenges, and their proudest moments.
CHRIS SEIFERT
Theater Program Director
On the first day of rehearsal, and my first day of
working with everyone, I announced that the
opening number of “The Addams Family” would
be completely done within the following two days.
I could sense everyone thinking, “Oh, yeah, sure
Chris.” But then one cast member saw we were
getting through a large portion on that first day,
and said, “Chris doesn’t play.” And that became
my motto. It’s true, we do work very hard — but
we remember to have fun too.
