Students at Anwatin Middle School in Minneapolis are busy rehearsing for this year's musical Dear Edwina, starring 6th, 7th and 8th grade actors and technicians. Dear Edwina is a heartwarming musical about growing up featuring the heroine Edwina Spoonapple, who puts on an advice giving show in her garage and the whole neighborhood comes to watch it.
