Everybody cuttin’ Footloose!
This past week, St. Benedict’s held 3 amazing shows of this year’s musical production: Footloose! Everyone involved did a fantastic job, from the actors and dancers, to the orchestra and tech crew behind the scenes. These talented students all used their skills in unison to create the most groundbreaking, show stopping, blues-losing performances across these 3 nights. From opening night to closing night, the performers were able to maintain their high energy on stage to ensure the audience got the best show of their lives. Thank you to everyone who came to cut loose and supported our amazing performers, who had put 3 months of hard work into this show. We can’t wait to see what the Arts has in store for us for the rest of this year!
