Spring Musical

Each January we welcome our 3rd–8th graders to join us in preparing for our Spring musical with a performance in late March or early April. Adults, youth and college students lead this dynamic ministry of dance, song and drama. Saturday evening and Sunday morning performances are a tangible way for young folk to minister to the church family and the greater Ithaca community.

This activity begins with play selection, assigning parts, and rehearsing early in the new year. The children present the play early in the spring. A Saturday evening performance is held for visitors from the community, and is also presented on Sunday morning. Volunteers assist with supervision, costumes, set design, snacks, programs, and a pizza party on opening night.
