Mamma Mia Senior Spotlight
Today we are featuring our last senior, Olivia Wallace. She has participated in drama all four years, and is excited to be playing the part of Donna! Mamma Mia has been fun because her two best friends in the show are some of her closest friends in real life, and she also gets to play "Mom" to one of her best friends. There are other friends who joined the cast this year, and she has enjoyed getting to witness their talents as well. Olivia recommends joining drama in high school because it is an amazing space where students can find new ways of expressing themselves. It is about connecting with people who share the same passions and creativity.
Well said Olivia! Kudos to all of the seniors who will be truly missed next year. Enjoy your last weekend together on stage as Mamma Mia opens tomorrow at TCHS!

Mamma Mia Senior Spotlight
Today we are showcasing senior, Rylie Vanausdoll. This is her first production here at TCHS, and she will be playing the part of Rosie. Rylie has always been too busy for the musical, but Mamma Mia has been one of her favorites since she was two. She told Mrs. Steffens if it were ever chosen here she would audition, and she kept her word! Rylie has loved being able to sing and perform again, and all of the new friendships she has made.
We are just TWO days away from opening night! Thursday and Friday are completely sold out, but there will be a limited number of tickets for sale at the door before both Saturday and Sunday performances.
