Sarah's High School Musical

My sister Sarah is directing a production of Disney's "High School Musical" in Vancouver, Wash., that opens this Friday. It caught the attention of local media. According to The Columbian:

"High School Musical" has been ubiquitous on television and teen radio for a couple of years now. The Disney Channel movie has spawned a sequel, with another on the way, plus a concert that made a recent stop at Portland's Rose Garden arena.

Yet Christian Youth Theater managed to get to the head of the class by presenting the first local staging of the piece, opening Friday and continuing through Feb. 24 in Camas.

That's three months ahead of the national tour, which will bring professionals to Portland to play the parts in late May.

More than 60 Clark County kids will get the chance to portray their beloved characters on stage first, another coup for Christian Youth Theater.

Bravo, Sarah! I'm proud.
