Bravo to Harvey's Middle School for 'Hello, Dolly!'

The performance of the Harvey Middle School’s cast of the spring musical Hello, Dolly! earned a rousing standing ovation Wednesday night in the Lasdon Theater of The Walker Center for the Arts. Director Marcus D. Gregio called the audience’s response “a testament to the success of the outstanding achievement” of the cast of middle school students.

Director Gregio, the Middle School theater director and teacher, praised his cast for “bringing the musical to life and giving everyone a generous gift.” 

Each spring, it’s the Middle School musical that caps off the year of theatrical productions in the Lasdon Theater. The orchestra, the production team and their crew and the cast of Hello, Dolly! sent everyone in the audience home in joyous spirits and looking forward to the 2014-15 school year for more outstanding performances by the students and the staff of the performing arts department.

Bravo to all!
