The winter musical at Bethany is “Just So.” This year the cast is fairly large at a number of 21 students. Each person in the cast is assigned another role in the crew as well. This show has taken a lot of imagination to put together, so it will be a great one for younger ages. This show will make you laugh throughout the story. Performances will be March 6-10 with tickets being sold this week. Purchase your tickets here!
