When considering options for our lower school musical this year, we were treading in uncharted waters. The most important goal was to provide an uplifting, fun filled growth experience for our students. However, this would have to look very different from a conventional musical, which traditionally includes as many as 75 cast members on stage at once! How could we accomplish this while rehearsing students one class at a time, wearing special singing masks, practicing social distancing and accommodating the need to rehearse on Zoom? The challenge seemed daunting! After much prayer, brainstorming and planning, our solution was to commission a one-of-a-kind musical written by one of our very own Charlotte Christian alumna, Polly Hilton. “Wow, wow, wow...it worked! With a talented and ultra creative production team, supportive leadership, and an enthusiastic group of talented fourth and fifth grade students, we worked together to bring the town of Jubilee to life as well as optimism and joy to our community during these very uncertain times.

This cast worked so hard to learn music, blocking, lines and choreography and then dress-rehearse and film their scenes in ONLY two weeks! I am so very proud of their accomplishments and dedication to Jubilee and one another! I am extremely thankful and blessed for students and colleagues who were able to exhibit flexibility, while continually exemplifying incredible work ethic. We did it!Our Optimeter is definitely full and running once again. WHEW!

To God be all the glory!
