Mount Carmel School’s Theatre Club presented True Colors, an original jukebox musical, at the Pacific Islands Club Charley’s Cabaret last Jan. 27 and 28. The musical, about a girl on the nonverbal end of the autism spectrum who tries to find her place and her voice in a new school, was a huge success with standing-room only, sold-out performances, rave reviews, and an audience that loved the show.
With incredible acting, signing, and dancing, the cast delivered amazing performances, and with an innovative production design, the crew set the stage for a one-of-a-kind production. So, it comes as no surprise that, as with many previous productions from the school’s Theatre Club, everyone laughed, everyone cried, and everyone was inspired. (PR)
