This is a big year for “The Phantom of the Opera” as it marks its 30th anniversary on the Broadway stage. This is one show that does not often make the high school circuit, so we are truly honored to be able to bring this show to our state-of-the-art theatre. Nearly 100 students, staff and parent volunteers have been preparing this amazing production that is once in a lifetime opportunity for any high school student to be a part of. They have been busy building a set that is larger than life, memorizing music and lines, practicing their instruments, learning choreography that incudes ballet and pointe, in addition to programming special lighting and sound effects. We are thrilled to again utilize a professional rigging company to fly the famous chandelier. Don’t miss your chance to go to the opera and experience all the excitement that Phantom has to offer. Please email producer Rita Casey Pencille at rpencille@cccsd.org with any questions, or call 293-1800 ext. 5608.
