OHS Drama Wins Outstanding Musical!
The Oconomowoc High School Drama Department’s fall production of “Into the Woods” has won an “Outstanding Musical” award. The newly opened Performing Arts Center was the backdrop for a fabulous display of talent by our local high schoolers. I attended the production, and was blown away! The poise and professionalism of these young actors, was incredible. The scenery, costuming, singing and acting were all comparable to a professional production.
