2020 Spring Musical

Young Frankenstein

Sadly, due to the school closure resulting from COVID-19, our 2020 Spring Musical, Young Frankenstein, was canceled. Fortunately, Avonworth student, Keyaira Cameron, created a documentary series that captured interviews of students that had key roles in Young Franekstein, as well as behind the scenes footage of the cast and crew as they were preparing for the musical. Keyaira's work is incredible and we are so thankful that her documentary has provided a glimpse of the amazing dedication, creativity, and heart that our students and director, Mrs. Frauenholz, were putting into the production of Young Frankenstein.
