Swansea s Case High School will put on two musicals this month
SWANSEA While many schools have canceled this year’s drama productions because of the pandemic, Swansea’s Joseph Case High School is forging ahead with two different musicals that will both open this month.
“Especially for my last show, I’m just so glad that I get these memories with my friends on stage,” said senior Emily Graham, president of the Case High Theater Company.
The pandemic has meant many extracurricular activities have been put on hold or held remotely. But Neil Jeronimo, Case’s theater teacher and theater director, said the school gave him free rein to continue with plans for school plays as long as they stuck to state and federal safety guidelines.
FRAMINGHAM “What movie would you turn into a musical if you had the opportunity?” Ratatouille. Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas. Toy Story. One suggestion Pretty Woman made 33-year-old Christopher Brindley pause.
“It
is a musical, I saw it it’s terrible, it’s awful. It’s one of the worst musicals I’ve ever seen,” he said. “And they didn’t even have the song ‘Pretty Woman’ in it, which is the whole point, right?”
On a recent morning, the head of the Fine and Performing Arts Department was in his Framingham High School office, launching his Musical Theater class with that question to students. When he s remote teaching, he says he s like a game show host. His job is to keep them invested in the class and in coming back, said Brindley.
