The district said the Alumni Program was started to support our young actors who are pursuing a career in the arts.

“This program and the people in it have had a huge impact on me as an artist and as a person.Godspell is a show about building community. Through storytelling, the characters create a singular group identity through which they find compassion, support, and most importantly love," Mueller said in a release. "By nurturing these characteristics within each other we as the audience begin to see the characters change, grow, and let their light shine. This is also true of the Elmhurst community. We are all so fortunate and to be a part of it."
