It's Frog and Toad Friday!
Meet cast member Kennedy Post! Kennedy is a freshman at HHS and this is her FIFTH production for HHS Drama Club! She started with us as a tiny Who in Seussical when she was in 4th grade. Kennedy will be taking on the roles of Bird and Turtle in Frog and Toad.
Kennedy is our problem solver and voice of reason in rehearsal. If something doesn't make sense or if there is a more efficient way to get something done, she's the one that makes it happen. She is always willing to put in extra time to help her directors and castmates. Most importantly, Kennedy cares so much about the people she loves and does not hesitate to tell them. We are so appreciative of this bold and openhearted girl and are so lucky to have her as a member of this cast!
HHS Drama Club will present A Year With Frog and Toad May 5th-7th at Lewis Street Playhouse! Tickets go on sale next week! Mark your calendars now!
