My Project

For our spring showcase, we are putting on scenes from various Stephen Sondheim Musicals. We will be featuring the musicals Sweeny Todd, Into the Woods, Sunday in the Park, and West Side Story. Students have been studying the four shows and will be putting on their own renditions of each show through a series of different scenes. These props and costumes will help enhance their performances for the audiences and our community can appreciate the great stories and music from these incredible musicals. They will have two showcases in addition to smaller performances! In addition, this will be the first musical since our school reopened!
