C.P. Smith’s Production of Frozen Jr. Was Fantastic!

Our annual school play was a smashing success featuring great performances and teamwork exhibited by all cast, crew and chorus members. In all over 70 students participated in the production of Frozen Jr. presented in partnership with the Very Merry Theatre Company. C.P. Smith students hard work and dedicated preparation paid off as Arizona Huynh, Alexandra Crafts, Hannah Harris, Moya Thayer, Annie Boutin, Celeste Hines, Isaac Aubin, Carlos Vanegas, Riley Maynard and many others provided fantastic performances! Director Don Wright and a truly committed group of family volunteers, Very Merry staff and musicians helped our students put on a first rate play on the big stage at Hunt Middle School. Special thanks go to Mrs. Beth Bahrenburg, Production Manager, Mrs. Nikki Boutin, Choreographer, and Mrs. Christine Harris, Costume Director and the many other volunteers who made this wonderful experience possible for our students.
