Pella Christian High School is presenting Les Miserables for a three-show run October 26th through the 28th.

Senior Thomas Dykstra, who plays Jean Valjean, tells KNIA/KRLS News the cast and crew has been hard at work since the summer to put all the pieces together for the challenging musical. Dykstra says Les Mis is an epic and uplifting story about the survival of the human spirit. Tickets cost $10 adults and $6 for students, and can be reserved by calling the Pella Christian High School main office.
