Archbishop Carrol Theater Society
staged
Once On This Island
(Nov. 16-19).
Samantha Scroggins '18 (center), summed up her experience: "I joined ACTS (and actually stayed) last year after two years of being too afraid to be heard or judged by others. Getting to play such a strong-willed character like Ti Moune has been an incredible experience because now I know that she and her inspiring strength will always be a part of me.
"This show has taught me how to love deeper than I ever could have before and has given me the most amazing people to love. Thank you ACTS for being my home and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to share the stage with my little family. So happy to be on this journey with you all."
Congratulations to the entire cast and crew!

On Wednesday, Nov. 15, Carroll’s Varsity boys’ basketball team traveled to the Carousel House located at Belmont Avenue and the Avenue of the Republic.
Head Coach Paul Romanczuk planned with Keith Newerla for the Carroll boys to experience basketball in a whole new way. Keith is Community Programs Director at Magee Rehabilitation Hospital and coordinates wheelchair sports.
Coach Romanczuk thought that his team would benefit greatly from a night spent going head to head with a very talented wheelchair basketball team. Not only was it a night that humbled our Carroll players, but it also afforded them an opportunity to put themselves in another’s place. They were able to appreciate the tremendous strength and resolve of these very dedicated athletes.
The two teams hit it off famously. The night started with some rules explained and strategies discussed followed by a demo scrimmage. Finally, the Carroll players took turns taking to the wheelchairs and trying to compete against a very formidable team of basketball players.
Players and coaches alike were so grateful to have experienced such a unique opportunity.
All the players were taking an interest in each other and some new friendships were quickly formed. The players said afterwards that the Magee Rehab athletes were so gracious with their time and talents, especially seeing as they only get one day per week of practice time.
Andrew Reed and John Dougherty, two of the wheelchair basketball players, expressed an interest in coming by for a game or two for the Patriots’ upcoming season. We are hoping that the Patriot Cagers footwork and ball skills will prove better than their wheelchair skills. But all kidding aside, it was certainly a night that coaches and players alike will never forget.
