Middle School Musicals
Project Success produces Middle School Musicals annually at several Minneapolis middle schools. Through Musicals, students learn how to work together to produce and perform a show for peers and their community.
Which schools are participating?
While Project Success Middle School Musicals are currently only offered to a handful of our Minneapolis partner schools, everyone is invited to attend a performance!
