On Tuesday, May 20th, the OHS Thespian Honor Society, Choreography and Dance Classes, High school ACE Students, Middle School Theatre Students and the Middle School ACE Students will be holding their 10th annual “Spotlight on the Stars”, a themed performance meant to celebrate music and dance with the Special Education students in our school district. The show, first started by former Thespian President and current Theatre Teacher Michelle Taplin with the help of Theatre Teacher Laura Gallo in 2015, has become a staple of the school year’s performances and gives a chance for everyone to shine on stage. This year’s theme is New York City, and will include iconic numbers such as “Uptown Girl” and “New York, New York”. The whole Cast and Crew hope you’ll join us at 7pm this Tuesday!
