Mountain Ridge High School hosted elementary students from around the district for three showings of the Mountain Ridge PAPA's production of Disney's Frozen, Jr. The play was directed by Jordan Kline, with Michaela Hale as the musical director and Allison Clise as the choreographer. While parts in the play were open to all area youth, many of the leading roles featured students from Mountain Ridge itself. According to Kline, "I am blessed to work with such incredible professionals, and I know that our students truly work with the best." He went on to say, "I would also like to thank all of our parent volunteers, and of course the cast and crew students for making this summer fun and rewarding." The elementary aged students throughly enjoyed the show, clapping, cheering, and singing along throughout the production. The youngsters seemed to especially enjoy the brief intermission during which time cast member and Mountain Ridge sophomore, Guy Witt, who played Oaken and Pabbie, led the audience in some stretching exercises, eliciting laughter from the entire packed house! Finally, while one might think that the finale of any play is the highlight, but the act immediately following intermission stole the show. During this scene, Ice Queen Elsa, played by Abby McLaughlin, senior at Mountain Ridge, sung the movie's signature song, "Let It Go", while snow fell on the audience as they watched her transform into the Ice Queen. Bravo to everyone involved in this fantastic production!
