Fall Musical a Hit

Little Shop of Horrors Pleases Packed Lindsay Auditorium
The cast and crew of Wayland's production of Little Shop of Horrors put on a tremendous show last weekend.  Artistic Director Christopher Mientus said the show was a blast and thanked faculty, students, parents, and friends of the school for making the event possible.

Mientus said, "Many thanks to the Skylight Theater in Milwaukee for renting us the puppets, Holt Dental Supply in Madison for loaning us a dentist chair, BDACT for loaning us numerous props and costumes, and the countless hours of service by Ms. Diane Alpaugh H`83 in set building."

Students Perform at Festival
Choir Performs at Trailways Festival

Students from Wayland's a capella group Almost Famous traveled to Madison and performed in the Trailways South Conference Honors Choir Festival. The festival is part of a unique effort by Wayland's athletic conference to bring schools that compete against each other in athletics together for fine arts events.  


Twenty Wayland students traveled to the event and joined 120 singers from ten schools. After a day of rehearsals the event culminated in a concert at Abundant Life Christian School.
