This weekend, 55 theater students from across Lexington County School District One middle and high schools came together to perform our first ever 24 Hour musical. You read that right, in just 24 hours these students learned and performed an entire Broadway musical (The Little Mermaid)!!! Big shout outs to Ms Banks, Ms Simmons and Ms Wilcox for making this happen, with help from several other Lex 1 theater teachers. Congratulations to the student actors, dancers, singers and techs on what will hopefully become a Lex One tradition.
