Musical season is well under way, with casting and auditions having been held on November 17th and the first practice being November 30th.

Performances are set to start on March 18th, and continue on the 19th and 20th.

This year is special because middle school students will be involved in the show.

“Going to be really fun because we have the middle schoolers helping out!”, said Catherine Lemus ‘16

Veteran members are excited about their cast, and their show.

“We have a really awesome cast, it’s a wide range of middle schoolers but we are excited to work with them. And we are going to put on an awesome show,” said Abby Ernst ‘16.

“The preparation going into the show is going to blow every ones mind,” said Chase King ‘16.

But not all cast members liked their role.

“Would be better if I was Toto,” said Jake Wisnaski ‘16.
