Mark your calendars for Sanderson Academy’s Spring Musical Theatre performance on April 11 at 6:00 p.m.! Students in grades 3 through 6 have been working hard on our production of Aristocats KIDS! Our crew has done magnificent work on sets and scenery–taking the whole process from planning to building to painting with truly spectacular results. Cast members are busy in rehearsal–learning lines, songs, and dances, and putting it all together on stage. They are having a blast in the process!

MTRS is putting on a spring musical to be performed on May 2 and 3, 2025. We would love to involve students in grades 5 & 6 in this show. At this stage we would like to find out who might be interested. In January, Director Paul will schedule a student meeting for students in grades 5 & 6 at MTRS to see which roles students will take in the show. A parent information meeting will also be scheduled for January/ February with information about rehearsal and an opportunity to ask Paul logistical questions.
