8th Grade Play

I have the privilege of directing our 8th graders in their spring production of a theatrical selection.  In my 19 years with the program we have generally selected classic Broadway musicals as a means of "broadening" our students' horizons, as well as featuring their musical talents along with their dramatic prowess. These are the shows that our St. Rita audiences have enjoyed in these past 19 years:
