Bedford Students Light the Derryfield School Stage

With the contributions of several Bedford students, the Derryfield School Middle School Players recently presented two performances of "High School Musical" at the school's Performing Arts Auditorium.

This theatrical production of the popular Disney movie proved a lighthearted family show about the need to question stereotypes. Athletic Troy and brainy Gabriella upset the status quo of high school cliques by trying out for their high school musical, and much drama and hilarity ensued as their classmates first tried to foil their plans and later came together as a school.

Maddie Pierson and Miles Strickler performed leading roles as Sharpay Evans and Chad Danforth, respectively.

Zach Sherman played James; Emily Lawrence played Susan; Tyler Crews played a skater dude; Prat Ravel played Jack Scott; and Katherine Kittler Charlotte Leyden and Brooke Northrup each contributed as cheerleaders.

Krystyna Keller served as the show's stage manager and Breanna Northrup was the choreographer for the show.
