MS drama scores with The Big One-Oh!

Relying on artful staging, crafty video editing and a delightful cast led by Mia Bouyoucef '25 as Charley Maplewood, middle school drama students elevated the virtual stage in The Big One-Oh!, a musical about a 10-year-old’s quest for a birthday celebration. The students under the direction of performing arts teacher Cecilia Gonzalez offered a fully socially distanced production that was as charming as it was safe.
