ACYI's Spring 2015 Musical

Well I spilled the beans earlier today and so I need to announce the musical for this next year. I spoke with Principal Thompson last May and with Mrs. Crane at the Middle School and Mrs. Day at the High School and we are all excited about this next year.

Drum roll please...

We are doing "SEUSSICAL, the MUSICAL Jr."

This is a super fun show with lots of fun parts. The musical weaves a lot of famous characters from Horton hears a Who, The Cat in the Hat and other Dr. Seuss' books. There are lots of speaking parts and there are two ensembles, the Jungle Animals of Nool and the Whos of Whoville.
