Our Palmyra Middle School Drama Department will hit the stage Saturday, March 8th at 7 pm to perform Rainbow Fish the Musical in the Middle School gym.
Under the direction of Mrs. Fountain and Mr. Seago, Rainbow Fish the Musical tells the story of a brightly colored fish, the Rainbow Fish, who is admired by all the other sea creatures due to her dazzling, multi-colored scales, but becomes isolated when she refuses to share them, ultimately learning from a wise Octopus that true friendship and happiness come from kindness and sharing, rather than just outward beauty. It is based on the popular children's book by Marcus Pfister.
The cast includes 8th graders Aubree D and Allyson K; 7th graders Callie H, Brielle S, and Addilynn K; 6th graders Gavin C, Kellin S, and Simone R; 5th graders Elsie R, Avery C, Emmalynn J, Brinleigh C, Tyne L, Kallee B, Allie C, and Molly H.
No reservations are required and admission is free-will donation, with all proceeds going to the drama department to help support the program.
