Miss Em (Emily Carpenter, Director) said, “My favorite part of theater is the effort it takes from an entire group of people to bring a production to the stage. One single part is not any more important than another. Without the help of every single person behind the stage, on the stage, upstairs, downstairs, planning, building, painting, dancing with Ms. Megan, rehearsing, singing, showing up, and giving one hundred percent, the show could not go on. Hard work, dedication, and fun don’t even begin to touch what these students have devoted to this musical. I am beyond proud for them to show you the end result of their talents.”
