🌟 Students from our fall production of Footloose had a fantastic time in the rehearsal process and final showcase for Iowa High School Musical Theater Awards! 🌟

Pictured are some of our students receiving their awards. In addition to our production awards, one of our Triple Threat participants, Levi Lane, was selected as a Broadway Intensive Scholarship recipient. We are so proud of Levi, our other showcase participants, and all of the Footloose cast and crew whose fantastic work we celebrated last night!
