Students performed a sneak peek of some of the popular musical numbers at By the River which was thoroughly enjoyed by the residents and guests. By the River is Sebastian’s affordable senior living community. It was the dream and vision of spiritual teacher Ma Jaya to have a place for seniors to call home and live comfortably in a vibrant community.
The story of Cinderella has been told for more than a hundred years in countless cultures. Threatre director, Michael Naffziger, said that this year they had so many talented kids that he dual-cast all the roles, except for the Fairy Godmother.
Two of the Cinderellas, Kaitlin Ruby, 10th grade, and Julianne Zimei, 11th grade are best friends and have not been competing, but rather cheering each other on. As Kaitlin said, “We tag each other. You’re ‘it’ today!”
