“Do you want a lemon drop?”
The question echoed throughout the room as theatre students participated in an improv drill where the students twisted and repeated a simple phrase into something hilarious, strange and completely their own. On the side of the classroom, Brian Cappello watched with an exaggerated look of horror from the front of the room.
Moments like that define Cappello’s classroom.
After nearly 40 years of teaching, the SM East alum is retiring, leaving behind a program and a group of students — all impacted by his creativity and perspective. Inspired by his own theater teacher, Cappello said he “wanted to do for others what he inspired me to do.”
Before returning to SM East to teach after his high school years, Cappello taught for 14 years in Ottawa, Kansas. Over time, his approach became less about strict structure and more about helping students understand themselves.
Sophomore Leilani Raber experiences this balanced teaching style in one of the three classes Cappello teaches, Actor’s Studio.
“Our first assignment was really just making a playlist about ourselves,” Raber said. “He mentioned the idea that you can’t understand how to act if you can’t understand yourself, which was fascinating.”
Raber described Capello’s teaching style as “very open,” adding that he focuses more on students as people than just performers.
When Raber was in the hospital and missed school, Capello provided extra time to memorize lines.
“He cares about all his students as people, not just academically,” Raber said. “He was so understanding and made sure I was doing well.”
That balance, humor and care is what Raber says they will miss most.
“I think we’ll miss the fun,” Raber said. “He really brings a light to school.”
For Cappello, the feeling is mutual. His favorite parts of SM East are “the kids” and his fellow teachers, along with the productions that brought students together on stage.
As he leaves, his advice is simple: trust yourself, stay flexible and “learn something new every day.”
“After dealing with every crisis imaginable and living to tell about it I don’t get upset too easily about much of anything,” Capello said. “I’ve learned that no matter how much of a big deal something may be at the time, it really isn’t!”

Bok moja draga obitelji, ja sam KLAUDIA GRANATER, majka sam troje prekrasne djece, imala sam sjajan život i dobro plaćen posao, a kao što svi znate, ništa dobro ne traje vječno. Bila sam žrtva propalog braka koji mi je zamalo oduzeo život i potrošila sam svu svoju životnu ušteđevinu boreći se za skrbništvo nad svojom prekrasnom djecom jer su oni jedina obitelj koja mi je ostala na ovom svijetu. Bila sam na rubu da odustanem od samog života nakon što sam potrošila sve za što sam se trudila u životu samo da bih dobila skrbništvo nad svojom djecom, pa sam počela tražiti zajmodavce online. Pokušala sam s više zajmodavaca, ali svi su se činili previše dobrima da bi bili istiniti, i nažalost jesu, i ništa ne boli više od takve vrste razočaranja..
Davat će prazna obećanja i nestati.
Bio sam prevaren i beznadan, vjerujte mi, to je bilo pakleno iskustvo, potpuno sam odustao od svega, uključujući i svoju djecu, ali mi je pomogao prijatelj koji me upoznao s DOMINION LOAN CENTEROM, međunarodnim zajmodavcem koji mi je zapravo isporučio upravo ono što sam želio uz brz odgovor.
Od početka su bili transparentni u vezi uvjeta, kamatnih stopa i planova otplate koji su najbolji. Nema skrivenih troškova ili nepredviđenih izdataka... Tvrtka će vas tražiti samo osiguranje kojeg sam se bojao, ali zbog dobrih vijesti koje sam čuo o njima, pokušao sam i iznenađujuće su mi dali zajam 5 sati nakon što sam pokrio policu osiguranja i to je jedini trošak koji sam imao prije nego što sam dobio zajam.
Proces je bio gladak i brzo sam dobio/la zajam. Zahvaljujući našem nebeskom Ocu i DOMINION LOAN CENTER-u, moja su djeca sa mnom i osjećam određenu vrstu mira jer se postupno oporavljam. Uzeo/la sam različite vrste zajmova od ove tvrtke {osobni zajam, poslovni zajam, zajam za automobil itd.} i također sam preuzeo/la na sebe da ljudima kažem o dobroti ove tvrtke jer ne želim da itko doživi ono što sam ja prošao/la u rukama lažnog zajmodavca, posebno samohranih majki poput mene. Vjerujte mi kad kažem da je njihova korisnička služba bila susretljiva i vrlo korisna kad god sam imao/la pitanja.
Ako se mučite pronaći legitimnog zajmodavca kao što sam se ja mučio/la, toplo bih vam preporučio/la da isprobate DOMINION LOAN CENTER i sljedeće svjedočanstvo koje ćemo čitati bit će vaše.
Preokrenuli su moju financijsku situaciju 🙏hvala Gospodinu..
