The all-boys Catholic school will present the show — about a boy in a rough English mining town who’d rather dance than fight — May 8, 9 and 10 in the school’s Major Bowes Theater.

Billy Elliot is a great show for families to experience together. Filled with Love , loyalty of Family and Friends. Singing , Dancing from Tap to Ballet. Young Billy will levitate across the stage.
