The Big Bad Musical
Photos by Ann Rains Photography
Our first full-scale Musical production was a great success! This thrilling courtroom-themed show delighted audiences with its lively performances and our Summer Musical Theater campers had a blast putting it on.
Directed by Hannah Pierce and Assistant Director Mackinzie Rogan, this unforgettable event showcased the incredible talents of our local performers. Each night offered a unique experience, as the verdict and ending were determined by the audience, who served as the jury. Laughter and joy filled the theater as the Big Bad Wolf’s fate hung in the balance, with the audience ultimately deciding his innocence on the first night and guilt on the second.
Our Summer Musical Theater campers all unanimously had a fantastic four-week experience making new friends, learning new music, and learning the ways of the stage.
Bravo, everyone!
