Bravo!
What a show! If you missed the Theatre Department's production of Oklahoma!, well...you just missed it! Under the superb direction of Theatre head Shea Johnson, each sold-out show was incredible. Congratulations to the many talented cast members, from our pre-show elementary students, to our amazing show cast, to the many surprise "actors" that showed up - included Headmaster Parsons and our very own Coach Bill Thorn. (See bottom photo below). Heartfelt thanks to Fine Arts assistant Judi Knight and the many behind-the-scenes students and parents, including stage manager Noah Ballard, the talented hair/makeup crew, and the folks who worked the lights and sound. Finally, a special 'thank you' to Landmark parent Daryl Akin and the hardworking team of parent volunteers who constructed the incredible sets that transported us to the plains of Oklahoma.
