Tickets Still Available for 5th Grade Musical

Fifth-grade students from all three elementary schools will perform Disney’s Aladdin, Jr. at the South Pasadena High School Auditorium on Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Sunday at 1:30 p.m.

The annual Fifth Grade Musical production is a South Pasadena tradition that brings together students for one big, entertaining event. The productions are self-sustaining with all staff and expenses covered by ticket sales and student tuition for the afterschool drama program. It is made possible thanks to parent volunteers who handle everything from supervising rehearsals and designing posters, to applying make-up and planning the cast party.

This year’s production of Aladdin, Jr. will follow in the tradition of showcasing the many key elements of collaboration between SPEF and the SPUSD, including afterschool enrichment, hometown volunteerism, and a commitment to the arts.
