This year ’ s program featured 66 costumed characters , 100 crew members and lots of talent under the direction of Noreen Daniello and producer Mary Lynn Dugan . “ After doing several contemporary shows , we wanted to get back to the oldies ,” says Daniello . “ This year ’ s musical is a classic .”
Additionally , the show provided an opportunity for students to learn outside the classroom . “ Students learned about educational theater ,” explains Daniello . “ They took a classic and reworked it . It was an opportunity to infuse English education into their performance .”
Students enjoyed the challenge of physical humor . “ I loved this role ,” says eighth grader Trisha Holmes , who played the princess . “ I feel like I really connected . I love comedy .”
