It began as an idea from parent Julia Calderon that the young ones should do a musical.

It continued with Lower School students demonstrating that these 5–8 year-olds could develop the talent, discipline and teamwork required to enact Disney’s Alice in Wonderland Jr.—a musical designed for 10-12 year-olds.

 It continued to evolve with parents pitching in to create the costumes, sets, props, audio, lighting and the many other details required in such a production.

It further evolved with High School students receiving instruction from parents and volunteers with expertise in such areas as lighting, sound, video and then taking on the backstage functions as “Team Alice.” High School student Cheyenne Savage took on the hat of director, found she loved the activity and did a brilliant job.

It all came together Friday and Saturday, where the cast enthralled packed audiences on each day. One viewer, identifying himself as very familiar with musicals done by students, said it was the best he had ever seen!

Many thanks to the parents who created this performance by handling the many details of costumes, hair, make-up, sets and props, videography, choreography, sound, lighting design and promotion.

And our congratulations and respect to the spirited Form 1 & 2 students who brought the characters of the musical to life and touched our hearts.
