Spring Musical Season Is In the Air at Pasadena Unified

It’s that time of year again when Pasadena Unified School District is transformed by musical mania. PUSD students are staging a lineup of Broadway hits that would make even the most jaded New Yorker nod appreciatively

Rehearsals, dance numbers, set building, and costume creations are well underway for several Broadway musical productions running now through mid-May at every middle and high school throughout the District.

“We are building on the momentum developed through vital community partnerships. We are also grateful for support from the Los Angeles County Arts Ed Collective which helps us continue to foster and encourage the diversity and creativity expressed through musical theater,” said Karen Anderson, Arts and Enrichment Coordinator for Pasadena Unified School District.

Audiences will recognize some of Pasadena Unified School District’s rising, young stars from Into the Woods, last year’s groundbreaking musical produced in partnership with Pasadena Playhouse.
