R.J. Howe-Sr.

Chad Danforth

High School Musical will be R.J.’s 4th and final musical of his high school career. He has enjoyed playing Chad this year, but his favorite lead was playing Warner last year in Legally Blonde. It’s hard to believe it has been four years since he began his high school musical career playing Friedrich (and enjoying Shamrock shakes ;) in the Sound of Music, followed by being a featured dancer and a knight in Cinderella his sophomore year. Even though we were not able to have a traditional performance this year, R.J. is grateful that he and the other seniors were able to have a musical. He would personally like to thank his Mom, Dad, and the rest of his family for all their love and support. R.J. will miss his musical family and will remember all the memories he has made over the last four years!
