Striding away from the Belvedere building complex, junior Addie Johnson and Senior Cooper Johnson pose for a family picture in Vienna, Austria. The Johnson family lived in Austria for six years and while living there, Cooper said he enjoyed the freedom provided by public transportation. “I liked just the overall city and the public transportation,” Cooper said. “It gave me the ability to go anywhere I wanted whenever I felt like it.”

DEN, a 35-minute-long free period students are given, is used in many ways for a variety of purposes. Students use this time to work on homework, make up missed tests and sometimes catch up with friends. Lots of students use DEN to run “errands,” as well, whether that means picking up an assignment from a teacher, visiting with a student teacher or asking the librarian about a tech issue. Students can no longer leave their designated classroom during DEN, even to go to the restroom.

When their agent Drake Miller arranges a meeting for them with showbiz contractor, Kadi McKlaskey, they land a contract that allows them to perform across America. But when Mac and Kadi fall in love, and Kadi wants to leave show business, Mac must make the decision of either staying true to his father’s dream or leaving magic to live his own life.

“I loved the experience of being in an original play that had never been done before,” freshman Emily Laxton, who was part of the chorus, said. “It was really exciting. Every night we performed was even better than the last, so Sunday was our best show.”

 

The show was astounding, the sets were fabulous, and all the actors performed very well. It was overall, a fantastic musical.
