11th Grader and Class President Maria Pena is involved with the Martin Luther King segment of the performance. It is a full collaboration between the dance, theatre, and Music department.Even though I may not be fully African-American I am still able to appreciate the contributions of Martin Luther King and what he did to spread equality among all people.” Maria Pena had this to say about her involvement in this piece.
Keith Williams and Chivas Merchant-Buckman are the teachers in charge of the dance segments of the performance. The teachers are expecting a lot from their students and it may just become an incredible performance
