Tomorrow evening the curtain rises on Seussical The Musical!  Rhondi and Jim Sabo are at the helm for their ninth show at Edgar - Rhondi handling theatrical direction and Jim the musical direction.  In the midst of opening week mania, Rhondi spoke with us about the show and her dedication to drama at our middle school.

 

How long have you and Jim been involved with the Edgar theater program?

This is our ninth show at Edgar.  We started when our son Steven was there with Pirates of Penzance.  I always like to choose a show that has a large chorus and several leading and supporting roles.  This way many students can be featured.  Although they must audition, I take everyone who wants to do the show.  That can be very tricky on this tiny stage.
