Lincoln students perform Matilda Jr.Congratulations to the cast and crew of Matilda Jr. at Lincoln! With four fantastic performances and over 1,400 tickets sold. This was Lincoln's 7th annual musical. More than 120 Lincoln students brought the production to life, both on stage and behind the scenes. Their hard work and dedication made for a weekend to remember. "We are so proud of the over 120 Lincoln students involved in the annual musical!" said Lincoln Musical Director Alyssa LaTragna. View photos from the musical. (This link has been updated to showcase and celebrate both casts from the musical accurately.)

Emerson students perform High School Musical Jr147 Emerson Students and 14 Emerson alumni participated onstage and backstage! Students painted scenery, built furniture, helped create the costume schematic, assembled props, designed the publicity, and managed the Stage, Light, Hair & Make-Up, and Sound crews. The Chamber Orchestra directed by Erica Faulhaber recorded an overture for the production. Every parent contributed in some way: volunteering for ticket sales, hall supervision, Hair & Make-up crew, Costume Organization, donating raffle prizes and concessions. Over a dozen staff members helped repair sets, loan props, and publicize the show. "Thank you for all the brilliant performances!", said Musical Director Terry Broeker. "We really were 'All in this Together!'" View photos from the musical.
