Eva Taub Eva has been an integral member of Framingham's Fine Arts program since she started at Framingham High School, and has been singing and doing theater her whole life. She says that without having done singing and vocal training her whole life, she wouldn't be the outspoken, confident, vivacious person she is today, and that it has taught her how to unlock the "power, grace, and beauty" within herself. She'll be studying Acting, Performance and Voice at Millikin University in IL this fall. |

2019
Mary Bogue The very first recipient of the Peter Furlong Vocal Performance Scholarship was Mary Bogue! She entered Simmons College in 2019 studying Vocal Performance and Psychology. In glowing praise, Framingham High stated that Mary is a lovely young lady, and very talented both vocally and musically. She performed in Mary Poppins in the fall of 2018, which was well received. She also made it into the finals for the FHS Poetry Slam competition. She exhausted Framingham High's theater and music curriculum after her junior year, and did an independent study in music during her senior year. Framingham High expects great things from her! |
