On Friday, December 10, 2010, in the midst of a historic snowstorm, Just So, a spirited musical based on the stories of Rudyard Kipling, was performed by 6th, 7th and 8th grade actors and technicians at Sanford Middle School in the Project SUCCESS production. Directed by Project SUCCESS Resident Artist Jeffry Lusiak, with choreography by Trudy Monette and musical direction by Anita Ruth, Just So takes you on a fantastic journey along the banks of Africa's Limpopo River to meet an amazing collection of strange and wonderful creatures. Set to an eclectic, upbeat score, Kipling's "Just So Stories" are woven with wit and imagination into a song-filled journey through the jungle. The audience and performers at Sanford were inspired by its underlying message - that one determined individual can make a real difference in this world.
Congratulations and thank you to all the students, staff, parents and community members who helped out and attended the show.
