Sum it up: “This year, we are performing ‘The Greatest Showman’ and are excited to be using some fun costuming and visual and dance styles we haven’t used before. Students have been an active part of our design process and have lots of great suggestions and ideas we have been incorporating. We have a large amount of new students who we are so excited to have, and our upperclassmen are really emerging as strong leaders. We are very proud of them all.” — Katie Lane
