APR's 1st Musical is finally here!

      I can't believe it. 12 years ago we started our little theatre program here at Academy of the Pacific Rim in an empty small cafeteria room, hand sewn black curtains, some rented lights and a bare floor.
Every year we have grown our program: new plays, student directors, our ZIPS program (Zoom into productions by students), and developing student leaders and theatre enthusiasts with our Thespian Society.
Thursday night, we make history once again. Despite not having any music or choral classes at APR, we are opening our 1st ever musical production! With the talented assistance of Bil Mooney-McCoy directing our students on vocals, and our amazingly talented student stage managers, scene artists, lighting and sound techs, and the beautiful voices of our students, this show is ready to open!
    The voices will amaze you, the story will delight you, and you'll be singing along by the end.
Join us as APR makes history:
Once On This Island, Jr.
Thursday and Friday at 7pm and then Saturday at 5pm
Tickets are only $3 for students and $5 for adults
At Academy of the Pacific Rim: One Westinghouse Plaza, Hyde Park
See you at the show!
