The Windham Center School Drama Club is a place for students to have fun, build confidence, and learn foundational skills in the theater arts. The drama club held auditions in October, and our cast and crew of 68 students have been hard at work since. Students rehearse three days a week after school learning music, choreography and blocking, and are well on their way to a fabulous show! Our production of Dear Edwina Jr. will take place on January 27th and 27th at the high school.
Featuring music by Zina Goldrich and a book and lyrics by Marcy Heisler, Dear Edwina JR. follows the adventures of a thirteen-year-old advice columnist and problem-solver named Edwina, who dishes out advice and wisdom with the help of her friends and a little song and dance.
Need to know how to properly set a table? How should one deal with a “Frankenguest?” We would like to present “advice-giver extraordinaire” Edwina Spoonapple. Edwina addresses the world’s etiquette challenges in number after hysterical musical number, in the same way Schoolhouse Rock Live!, the musical based on the Emmy Award-winning 1970s Saturday morning cartoon, teaches history, grammar, math, science and politics through clever, tuneful songs.
“Dear Edwina JR. is a heartwarming show featuring witty musical lessons exploring courtesy and politeness that will have you laughing out loud. At the heart of all this fun is a wonderful message about the importance of treating one another well,”
