This is John’s first musical ever! He is pretty excited to participate even though COVID-19 has changed things a lot. John has participated in choir since 6th grade so singing is nothing new to him, however this will be the first time he has added acting and character to it. He says he gave in to the positive peer pressure from his friends who were in previous musicals. He is excited to participate in this show and excited to work with all the talented people involved.
