Pella Christian’s Middle School Theatre group will present Once Upon a December this Friday and Saturday at 6 pm in the Vermeer Auditorium at Pella Christian High School. There will also be a matinee performance for area schools and homeschool families on Friday at 12:45 pm. Cast members Adalynn Hodgell and Jenna Hoksbergen say that they have enjoyed making memories and spending time with their friends while working on this production.

Hodgell: “The absolute best part is getting to be with friends and creating memories together. I also like strengthening my skills in public speaking and confidence, because those things will serve me well in all areas in my life.”

Hoksbergen: “I love being with my friends and during rehearsal, when we are on stage, it’s a lot of fun to be running lines with people in our cast group. And I think as a cast, we’ve learned about what it means to be working together as a team and getting into the story.”
