Ученики школы Great Neck представили мюзикл «Маленькая русалка» в рамках летней программы

More than 50 Great Neck Public Schools students in grades five through eight took the stage Aug. 12 for a free community performance of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid, Jr.” The production was the culmination of the district’s six-week Musical Theater Summer Enrichment program, which brought students together to learn and perform a fully staged musical in a short period of time. The program was led by Great Neck faculty members Michael Norberto, director, and Dr. Pamela Levy, musical director. Several North High School and South High School students involved in their schools’ music and theater programs also assisted, providing guidance and support to the younger performers.
