Last week’s St. Patrick’s Day holiday featured the play, “The Little Red Hen, The Musical” at the Tyrone Area Elementary School.
The play was performed by Mrs. Susan Friday’s first grade class.
It was written and directed by Mr. Josh Spangler and Mrs. Friday. Mr. Spangler is the student teacher joining Mrs. Friday’s class from Juniata College. He worked tirelessly for weeks on this production. His grandmother, Ruby Rock, designed and sewed the capes while he assembled each headpiece.
Other helpers included: Mrs. Smith as backstage help and videographer, Mrs. Schadle as backstage help and props, TAHS student Miss Tania assisted with practice and Mrs. Hess helped with the recording of music. Lighting and seating were provided by the TAES custodians.
The cast of the production was as follows: Kendra Walker as the Little Red Hen, Gabriella McCracken as the Pig, Finnley Christine as the Cow and Darius Brenneman as the goat.
Ducks were: Sarah Isenberg, Marina Higgins, Ryan Clouser, Victoria Marshall and Robert Ham. Dogs were: Jack Ashcroft, Jeffery Romano, Harley Walters and Eliza Tangen. Cats were: Sawyer Crawford, Larry Kobuck, Madison Noll and Lance Loose.
