New show spells success for McCoy fine arts students
MEDICINE HAT, AB – Monsignor McCoy High School teacher Kimmy Orr can’t smile much more than when she talks about the kids in her production arts class.
She and 20 students are one day from bringing “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” to the stage.
“Doing a musical is not a small feat so to be so young and to be in high school and also even to work with peers, it’s really difficult to be vulnerable in that sense among your peers and even to direct them and tell them instructions and things like that,” , said Orr, who is also the director. “So I am incredibly humbled by this experience to watch them come and enjoy and build a community and to take ownership and leadership over this experience.”
