Once again, as they have for more than 20, years the students of
Danbury High school demonstrate where the next generation of theater
professionals and theater patrons will come from. Another school musical, this year: Hairspray,
has opened and moved the capacity auditorium to their feet. More than 100
students, facility, administrators and alumni have built a team which brings
excitement and entertainment to all who experience the event.
The
Danbury High School Production of Hairspray is
replete with acting, singing and dancing, to a live orchestra, all of which
fills the auditorium. The talent is first rate and your time in the theater
is well spent. The show itself encourages toe tapping and this production does
everything to facilitate that goal. It isn’t every day you have the opportunity
to listen to so many voices blending with a live orchestra so well.
Theater is the ultimate team activity. Students
from all walks of life come together. No part of a production can be done
by itself. It takes everyone working together to get to a successful opening. Everyone
has their part to do in order to be a success and it is obvious that those on
stage, back stage, in the pit and unseen in a multitude of support rolls do it
right. And that satisfaction in a job well done radiates for all to see and
feel. The lesson learned: of working together to meet a common goal will
last a lifetime. These experiences will be the basis of so many adventures to
come. And audiences, especially other Danbury school students, get an
economical exposure to performing arts. Some may aspire to be a part of
something like this when they have the opportunity. It is community building at
its finest.
If you have the time, get to Hairspray.
If you can't, try to attend any local school production. You do not have to
know someone who is involved to be entertained. I urge you to get out and see
how well today's young adults work together for something which not only makes
them proud but will make you happy too.
