EDWARD HIGH IN LAKEWOOD > > Those of you who appreciate exceptional theatrical productions, especially musicals, I would highly recommend seeing “Pippin” > currently playing today, Aril 2nd, as well as next weekend, April 8-10th, at St. Edward High School. Known for theatrical excellence > under the creative genius direction of Robert W. Burns, and technical direction of John F. Goers, this production is right in line with the likes of > their past performances of “Godspell”, Titanic”, and “Les Miserables”, to name a few of the many memorable ones. The production > sports excellent talent along with an upbeat musical score by Stephen Schwartz. I would be remiss not to compliment the set construction > as well as the costumes all of which fit nicely into a drama with perhaps a somewhat serious theme, but presented with humor, sometimes > in a carnival like atmosphere. There definitely is magic on stage in more ways than one. See for yourself! As the Leading Player explained > to me, “we really worked hard” on this show. And it certainly paid off!
