Before schools take a few days off for the winter break around New Year’s, some will put on musical theater productions. Here’s a calendar of the ones we know about. If we missed yours, please let us know.

In Maryland high schools

  1. Dulaney (Timonium), Peter & the Starcatcher, 11/30–12/2
  2. Northern Garrett (Accident), Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, 11/30–12/2

Musical productions in high schools often include the hard work of hundreds of students, teachers, and other community members. We write about them in support of new federal legislation in the Every Student Succeeds Act, which directs schools to include music and the arts as part of a “well-rounded education” for students in the US.
