Do you hear the people sing?
In the upcoming weeks, high school students across the Diocese of Wilmington will sing to their heart’s content as they take on famous roles like Wednesday Addams, Seymour Krelborn, and Jean Valjean. Every year, spring musicals are highly anticipated by cast members and audiences alike.
Whether music by rock legends like The Who and Elvis Presley peaks your interest, or if you are a self-declared connoisseur of gentle tunes that tug at the heart strings, there are shows for you. Even comedy-seekers will be accepted with open arms at many of these high schools.
High school sports performers across the country are consistently celebrated for their fantastic efforts, but we cannot forget those students in the performing arts who put just as much passion and energy into their plays. It has been clear over the years that high schoolers from the Diocese of Wilmington go the extra mile every year to produce musicals that people from all walks of life can enjoy.
