Delaware High School Selected As First To Produce Disney’s Frozen
Theatre students are on the edge of their seats to learn what performance they’ll be working on each year. What a cool way to decide? I wonder what other local schools applied. Hmmm…
Anyway, the winners from each high school across the country have been announced. This Delaware high school has been selected as the first to produce Disney’s Frozen, as their school’s musical for the new school year.
The contest was a joint effort between the Educational Theatre Association, Disney Theatrical Group, and Music Theatre International. Only 51 schools were selected. One winner from each state in the US, and one from Germany, for children of military families were selected.
According to Playbill, the contest, called The United States of Frozen: Love is an Open Door competition was open to any high school in the U.S., including U.S. territories. The applicants were asked to explain how they would use their production based on three categories. To strengthen their school community, provide outreach to underserved groups, and support inclusive and diverse theatre programs. The winning schools receive rights for up to three performances of Frozen; free access to the work’s digital script, score, and orchestrations; a video license, and more.
How cool is this? Maybe WJBR will get an invite to come out and see the performance. Or maybe we can have some of the theatre students in the studio to talk to Deanna and Justin about the performance!
So, what school in Delaware and our neighboring states took home this amazing opportunity? See the list below.
