This past Saturday was the last night of the
Middle School Musical, Guys and Dolls.
Kids from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade participated
with a total of 62 performing on stage and backstage on the stage crew.
Rehearsals started in November, 5 days a week running from 3:15 to 5:15,
sometimes even 6:30. Middle School teachers Mrs. Rominger and Mrs. Donches
directed the production along with Upper School teacher Mr. Masters helping
with vocals and music. There were 3 shows; one on January 31st and
two on February 1st. The Friday night show sold out and the audience
gave the cast a well earned standing ovation.

GA is such a positive and
supportive place when it comes to theatre arts. The musicals are just one of
the many ways that children throughout Middle School and Upper School can
express themselves through performing arts. GA is a very safe place for kids to
be who they really are because they know that they will always have support
from the students and teachers in the community. The Middle School Musical
allows kids to express themselves and lets them try something new they may not
have experienced before. It also allows kids to participate in other after
school activities such as sports.
