We are sad to inform our pause in organizational activity for the remainder of this season and possibly for the next seasons following. If not noticed, APEX ensembles paused rehearsals a couple weeks ago for the lack of provided facilitation/ food and has struggled to proceed further with the season ahead (our scores have stayed stagnant since the beginning of the season). We apologize to our performers and the experienced inconveniences, and wish to rebuild and facilitate a healthy and positive environment for any that choose to participate in APEX Performing Arts' ensembles in our time of recuperation. Please know that the placements for the rest of the season DO NOT reflect APEX Performing Arts as an organization, but the absence of our performers and staff. We wish all the best of skills for the remainder of the season to those competing.

Description: This show explores the American ideology of "Manifest Destiny," which was the belief in U.S. westward expansion during the 19th century. Through visual and musical storytelling, APEX illustrates the pioneering perseverance that inspired the "American Dream" of opportunity.
"Green is spring's renewal and rebirth.
The indication that things will bloom."

๐๐ผ๐น๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ : "๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฟ๐ป"
Description: In this show, the audience will be immersed in the discovery and revelation of the planet Mars. Mysterious and alien, Mars is a place that truly expresses the visceral sense of "The Unknown."
"So the thoughts that he shall think
Shall not be forms of stars, but stars,
Nor pictures pale, but Jove and Mars."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (from poem "Monadnoc")
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ

๐ฉ๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐: "๐ค๐จ๐๐ก๐ง๐จ๐ "
Description: VERSE expresses the complexity and enigmatic identity of Quantum Physics. The show explores the behaviors of the smallest of nature, beyond photons and neutrons, and into a universe of the invisible and indescribable.
"Life is strong and fragile. It's a paradox... It's both things, like quantum physics: It's a particle and a wave at the same time. It all exists all together."
- Joan Jett
