He said, “I am so incredibly excited to see the talent and hard work of 32 students involved in this production. I grew up watching Freaky Friday on television and getting to see students perform it live will be so much fun. I believe this show will be a fantastic representation of the dedication and creativity that our school’s theater and music programs foster. Don't miss out on what I expect to be an unforgettable performance."
