Project Success produces Middle School Musicals annually at Andersen, Anwatin, Northeast, and Sanford Middle Schools. Through our middle school musicals, students feel safe, supported, and a sense of inclusion. During the 10-week rehearsal and production process, students build and strengthen community, practice setting goals and making a plan to achieve goals as members of the production, and build team-oriented cooperative skills in effective communication, meeting expectations, honoring commitments, persistence, and resilience. We love seeing their talents and creativity shine through in these unforgettable productions!
Join us at the public performances of each musical to support and celebrate these middle school students! Tickets can be purchased at the door each night – they are $5 each/pay what you can for the general public. Performances are open to all ages.
