A Time to Perform in January
By Kaye Osborn
A Snappy New Year to all Modesto View readers! Hope your holidays were festive and bright. Wishing you a year filled with amazing local shows. Please support their efforts. I am looking forward to directing upper elementary students at Lakewood School. We are rehearsing a musical of Sleepy Hollow. The actors are excited and delighted about being in this production that is filled with song, humor and dance! It will be performed the first weekend of March and like all Lakewood Theater musicals the Friday night show will be interpreted for the Deaf community.
Here’s what is happening in our neck of the woods!
