By Chanel Boyce Staff Writer Auditions for this year’s musical Anything Goes were held back in early November and leads were announced later in the month. Since then, the cast has been rehearsing their lines and learning the music and choreography. The first full cast rehearsal was held on the night of December 16, followed by main cast rehearsals throughout the rest of that week. And with their March performances quickly approaching, the cast will have their January and February schedules full. It is common to think that the first rehearsal would be the hardest, however that is not always the case. Sophomore Holly Nace, who’s part of the ensemble said that the first rehearsal was “basically a run through to get a feel of what it’s like.” Billy Jackson, also a sophomore, who plays Whitney in the musical, agreed with Nace saying that the rehearsal was “pretty chill,” and that the cast just “went over the rules and lines.” The performance days of this year’s musical are March 6, 7, and 8, with ticket sales currently ongoing for $10.

Staff Writer Dazzling lights, melodic singing, and a story unfolding on the stage are what most people are buzzing about. The musical, Annie, had a great cast. Most don’t realize that the props and background are key parts of this event. Red Lion Theater contracted with National Art Honor Society students to paint backdrops. They receive volunteer hours in return. “It’s cool to see the final product at the musical and work together with the NAHS family,” junior member Rachel Jenks said. Each year is a different level of difficulty. Mainly NAHS students are a part of it, but other students are welcomed to help as well. “It’s great working with the kids and the adult advisors. That’s probably why we have the best musicals in the county,” NAHS advisor Mrs. McBrien said. Junior member Lindsey Hemmann was awarded the Paint Can Key Award by NAHS for her responsibility and hours she had dedicated. |
