With 140 middle school aged kids and over 430 animal costumes, Morgan High School stage came alive as kids from Mountain Green Theatre entertained sold out crowds, March 18,19,20,21.
Five years ago, director Melinda Taylor, founder of Mountain Green Musical Theatre brought musical theatre to Mountain Green Middle School with “Lion King Jr.” However, they were unable to finish the run of the show until the next school year, due to the COVID pandemic. When they did perform it was in Taylor’s driveway. After performing three more shows over three years, Taylor decided she wanted to give “Lion King Jr.” another shot. This time she would be able to perform it on a stage with better lights and sound and for a larger audience.
After many hours of rehearsal, costume making and set building, Mountain Green Musical Theatre gave a stellar performance.
Mountain Green Musical Theatre will present Annie Jr. fall of 2024 and High School Musical Jr. Spring 2025.
