Middle School Students Take the Stage at Wayne Community College
The musical, filled with characters from the books of Dr. Seuss, allowed the students to sing, act, and dance in bright costumes and numbers full of the whimsy found in the author’s works. Over 300 students from three Wayne County elementary schools attended the show as part of Read Across America month, a national celebration of reading.
After Kilgore’s choir students performed in WCC’s first Middle School Honors Choir Festival last month, she knew the College’s Moffatt Auditorium would be the perfect place to put on the musical.
“WCC was incredibly accommodating and welcoming to my students for this event, and I plan to produce all future musicals here,” said Kilgore. “My students immensely enjoyed performing in Moffatt Auditorium, and they are already asking what we will be performing next year and when we can come back to WCC.”
