You couldn’t stop the excitement Woodrow Wilson High School generated Friday night.

The Robinson cast brought Summer Brave to life with colorful, vibrant energy.

The show is practically and opera and extremely difficult to execute well in high school theatre. However, with George Mason’s strong cast, the lighting, and set, Les Miserables was anything but miserable.

Overall, Thomas Edison High School put on an enjoyable show of Beauty and the Beast.

Although it may have strayed from typical interpretations, a surreal and artistic world was crafted for audiences who attended JEB Stuart’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

In the village of Anatevka, “times are changing,” but Herndon High School’s production of Fiddler on the Roof showed “constant devotion,” keeping focus and energy throughout to give a heartwarming and delightful performance.

Dazzling in every aspect of the word, Briar Wood’s original performance of Alice in Wonderland was quirky, vibrant, and impossible.

Due to its calculating actors and high quality tech, Fairfax High School impressively retold the heartbreaking story of Eurydice. This portrayal of the afterlife beamed with a memorable flamboyance, engraved into the minds of its audience as heavily and finally as letters on a gravestone.

In the midst of all the excitement and joy that accompanies the long anticipated arrival of summer, it is hard for children to picture that “real life” might intrude upon their holiday.

The journey through many facets of the awkward search for romance makes for a touching show, while keeping the hilarity of these moments for the onlooker.
