Four of our student artists will be showcasing their talents on stages across their local communities this weekend: Hogan Porter ’28, Madelyn Tousignant ’26, Carlo Danese ’28, and Josie Rimmer ’27. Porter and Tousignant will take the stage in a local production of The Little Mermaid, Danese will perform with the Connecticut All-State Chorus in Hartford, and Rimmer will appear in Cirque du Ballet in Old Saybrook.
The Little Mermaid
Hogan Porter ’28 and Madelyn Tousignant ’26 were selected to participate in an upcoming production of The Little Mermaid, taking place March 27–28 at the Garde Arts Center in New London. Porter has been actively involved in the performing arts at Williams, appearing in recent productions of Middletown, where he played John Dodge, and Sweeney Todd, in which he played Anthony Hope.

Connecticut All-State Chorus
Carlo Danese ’28 was selected as a tenor for the Connecticut All-State Chorus, a distinction earned through a competitive audition process that included students from both public and private schools across the state. The ensemble will perform at the Connecticut All-State Festival, held March 26–28 at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford.
In addition to this honor, Danese was also accepted to the prestigious Interlochen Arts Camp in northern Michigan, where he will participate in the Classical Voice program this summer.
