Drama students at Providence High may use facilities owned by the town of Matthews to perform their spring musical in front of family and friends, Mayor John Higdon said.
A troupe of drama students at Providence High may use facilities owned by the town of Matthews, including the Fullwood Theater, to perform their spring musical in front of family and friends, Mayor John Higdon said Saturday.
The announcement came after Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools said most end-of-year celebrations, including arts performances, may only be attended by students and faculty members due to "safety protocols."
Parents involved in Providence High's spring production of "Spamalot" objected, noting that the district was allowing parents and families of student-athletes to attend indoor sporting events. The district also was moving forward with plans for indoor, in-person graduation ceremonies.
