Local Middle School to Perform Non-Junior Production Parker Middle School Drama Club to Perform 'Just So'

After months of searching, auditioning, interviewing and rehearsing, Parker Drama Club presents: ‘Just So’

‘Just So’ is a twenty-five year project that began with a series of inspirational stories written by Ruyard Kipling. ‘Just So’ creators Stiles and Drewe (Honk! and Mary Poppins) bring an imaginatively empowering piece of theatre in Just So. Set to an eclectic, upbeat score, Kipling’s Just So Stories are woven with wit and imagination into a song-filled journey through the jungle.

The Parker Drama Club has produced junior versions of musicals for the past 10 years, but this year made a decision to move away from junior shows. “After viewing the talent, enthusiasm and maturity of the Parker Drama Club we feel confident in their ability to put on a full length show,” stated Director/Producer Stephen MacDonald “I had a few theatre educators suggest ‘Just So’ to me, and to be honest, after the first read I did not understand why. Days later the music and the story were still in my head, and when I read the story for the second time, I fell in love with it. The amount of creativity this show can spark is limitless and its timeless message that hard work and determination can make a difference in this world is important, especially for middle school students.”

There are 120 Students involved in the creation of this production aided by teachers, staff members and parent volunteers. The Parker Drama Club will put on ‘Just So’ at Parker Middle School on March 12th at 6:30pm, March 13th at 7pm and March 14th at 2pm.
