Local school plays to be highlighted by downtown theater producer
Three Minneapolis high school plays have been selected as part of the Hennepin Theatre Trust’s Spotlight Musical Theater program.
The three plays—Southwest High’s production of Hair, DeLaSalle’s Fiddler on the Roof, and Inter-District Downtown School’s The Wiz—are among 24 performances from around the metro area that will vie for Spotlight Awards during a June showcase. The awards will be given for acting, choreography, music, and overall production, reports Anna Pratt in the Southwest Journal.
Actors from the selected schools will also participate in a workshops led by theater professional.
The Spotlight Musical Theater program was designed to offer talented high school students the kind of exposure generally given only to high school athletes.
