City Theatre Trip
- Thanksgiving 1997

- From November 26th to30th, fifty-one MVHS Drama students,
parents, teachers, and alumni explored "The Big Apple." Their
adventures took them into Times Square to watch the Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade, backstage at Radio City Music Hall,
through Central Park, up and down the spiral galleries of the
Guggenheim Museum, to the top of the Empire State Building, on a
tour of the NBC studios, to Ellis Island, and past the Statue of
Liberty. Included in the tour were tickets to "Les Miserables,"
"Titanic," and The Radio City Music Hall "Christmas Spectacular."
In their spare time students took in additional Broadway and
Off-Broadway shows on their own, including "Chicago," "The Life,"
"Miss Saigon," "Jeckyll & Hyde," "A Funny Thing Happened
on the Way to the Forum," "Forbidden Broadway," and "The Lion
King" (among others!).

- "Godspell"
- Advanced Drama Winter Musical
-
- The Advanced Drama class was rock 'n' rollin' in their winter
mucisal, "Godspell." This produciton was more than great
philisophies, parables, and the story of Jesus; it was a showcase
of off-the-wall humor, a live band, and a great chorus of song and
dance!

- "Singin' in the
Rain"
- Spring Musical
-
- MVHS brought a widely-loved MGM musical to the stage with
the 1998 production of "Singin' in the Rain." Set in Hollywood in
the roaring 1920s, "Singin' in the Rain" is the story of a movie
industry turned upside down by the invention of the"talkies." The
show successfully highlighted both the media and performing arts
departments with a combination of entertainment - film making and
musical theatre - for a unique theatrical experience. Featuring
glamorous costumes and sets, spectacular tap dancing, lavish
music, and favorite songs such as "Make 'Em Laugh," "You are My
Lucky Star," "Good Mornin'," and the title number, "Singin' in the
Rain," the production captured the era of this famous musical and
provided entertainment for all!
