This past January and February, Islip High School senior Skylar Greene worked as an actor in the adult ensemble of “Fiddler on the Roof” at the regional Gateway Playhouse in Bellport, performing alongside many seasoned actors who have appeared on Broadway, in national tours and notable regional theaters around the country.

Greene, who has been performing since she was 5 years old, will be attending the Institute for American Musical Theatre in New York City this summer to further her career as an actor.

Exemplary work by Islip High School’s talented art students was recently selected for prestigious exhibitions around Long Island.

Breanna Questel was chosen to have her work displayed at the Suffolk County Art Leaders Association All-County Scholarship Show at Babylon Old Town Hall. Alexarae Casas, Eva Diesso, Ryan Donohue, Samantha Krut, Nelysa Petersen, Kathiangelys Rios Cruz, Katalina Villalba and Sofia Zurbaran were accepted for the third annual The Atelier at Flowerfield Middle and High School Student Artists Juried Show in Saint James, on display through March 29. Work by Aaron Thorn and Sofia Zurbaran was selected for the 25th annual Colors of Long Island student art exhibit, on display at the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook through April 7.

“Our new Islip High School art teacher Lisa Sacco has done a wonderful job mentoring and preparing our students for these shows,” Director of Fine and Performing Arts Michael Hershkowitz said.
