Sondheim Classic presented at EGRHS

Grimm's favorite fairy tales (with a twist)
came to life on the PAC stage April 26-28, 2012. Performed to sell-out
and near sell-out crowds, audiences were treated to a musical adventure
where they met a questioning Cinderella, a blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood, a witch who raps,
and the Baker and his wife as they set out on an adventure to break the
curse of childlessness placed upon them. Click for
photos from the show (Photos by Jan Lewis).
EGRHS students were under the direction of Pamela Steers, choreography by Judy Genson, musical direction by Dr. Jim Borst and Bill Beir, and Trent Wadsworth as Set Designer. Over 50 students made up an incredible cast along with 25 crew members to help with the show’s technicalities and 20 student musicians provided background to these famous fairy tales.
